Olivia Colman to play a double murderer in “Landscapers”

Landscapers tells the story of Chris and Susan Edwards (Thewlis and Colman), a presumably ordinary British couple living in the northern English city of Nottingham. The couple eventually becomes the center of an exceptional murder investigation when two dead bodies are uncovered in their garden.

Inspired by true events, the limited series is created and written by screenwriter Ed Sinclair with Will Sharpe serving as the director. Check out the latest trailer of Landscapers below:

The trailer reveals that the crime series will feature a lot of drama between Susan and Chris, especially during the investigation. Further, HBO describes the limited series as an exploration of love and fantasy. In the series, Susan has an obsession with old Westerns and classic cinema, inspiring the fantasists to cast themselves as Hollywood heroes in narratives of their own invention.

In the trailer, we can see that the main subject of the investigation is Susan, along with her sense of humour in the responses she gives to the questions asked.
