Stanley Tucci and David Tennant ‘Inside Man’ Netflix Series: What We Know So Far

Netflix and BBC are teaming up again to create Inside Man. This limited series is ambitious with an award-winning cast led by Steven Moffat (most famous for Sherlock and Doctor Who). He also created Dracula in collaboration with BBC and Netflix.

Paul McGuigan (Sherlock and Lucky Number Slevin Director) will oversee this ambitious series. He was also nominated for Emmys for his Sherlock work. Alex Mercer will also produce along with Moffat’s collaborator and wife Sue Vertue, BBC’s Ben Irving and Netflix’s Chris Sussman.  Sussman described the script as “fiendishly clever”, while Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, added that the combination of the script and cast will create “television magic.”

Wenger stated in a statement for 2019:

“In our ongoing relationship with Steven and Sue Vertue, they sent us this mini-series which Steven had written on spec and we commissioned it instantly. The script is a page-turner and grips you from the outset, and Charlotte and I couldn’t resist bringing this story to BBC One.”

Here’s everything else we know about Netflix’s Inside Man:

Is Inside Man a plot?

Inside Man's plot is still secret. Only Steven Moffat, the creator of Inside Man, knows when it will conclude. Everything is so secretive that even Netflix or BBC don’t know the ending of the series. The truth is, Inside Man stars a U.S. death row prisoner, an English vicar, and a mathematics teacher locked in a basement. They meet in the most surprising way.
