The cast is led by Endeavour actor Roger Allam in the lead role of Antoine Verlaque, Investigating Judge in Aix-en-Provence, alongside Nancy Carroll (The Crown) as his on-screen romantic partner Marine Bonnet.

Another key character in the ITV series is Hélène (The Greatest Showman’s Keala Settle), a detective and Antoine’s trusted confidante.
