Disney Plus has released the trailer for new drama 'Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes'.
Disney Plus say: ““Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes” focuses on the events surrounding the tragic killing of innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, after he is mistaken for a terrorist. Told from multiple perspectives of those involved, it examines how memory - both accurate and distorted - can be turned into fact and shape our understanding of the truth.
Set twenty years ago, as London reels from the devastating suicide bomb attacks of 7 July 2005, the Metropolitan Police launches a large-scale counter terrorism operation to prevent further attacks. Unbeknownst to them, another terrorist cell plots an assault that could equal the devastation of 7/7.
This second set of planned attacks fails, setting off one of the UK’s largest-ever manhunts and sparking a covert surveillance operation. As tension and uncertainty rises across the nation, a series of extraordinary events unfolds, leading to a critical misidentification.
Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent young Brazilian electrician on his way to work, is mistaken for a terrorist and shot dead at Stockwell station. What follows is a family’s fight for justice and answers, and the long-fought struggle to bring clarity to a situation that is clouded by confusion, and silence”.
The drama stars Conleth Hill (“Game of Thrones”; “Power of Parker”) plays Sir Ian Blair, then Met Police Commissioner. Russell Tovey (“Years and Years”; “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans”) plays one of Blair’s Deputy Assistant Commissioners, Brian Paddick alongside Max Beesley (“The Gentleman”; “Hijack”) who plays Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, leading on the Met’s investigation into the bombings. They’re joined by newcomer Edison Alcaide who plays Jean Charles de Menezes.
Four part drama 'Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes' will be available to stream on Disney Plus from 30 April, 2025.
