Lorne Balfe has signed on to score the upcoming ITV original series Marcella. The show is created by Hans Rosenfeldt (The Bridge) & Nicola Larder and stars Anna Friel, Laura Carmichael, Nicholas Pinnock, Ian Puleston-Davies, Nina Sosanya, Ray Panthaki, Jamie Bamber, Sinead Cusack, Patrick Baladi and Harry Lloyd. The drama is set in contemporary London and follows a detective who returns to the Metropolitan Police’s Murder Squad after a 10-year long career break to start a family. Rosenfeldt and Larder are also executive producing the project with Tony Wood. Charles Martin (New Worlds, Skins), Jonathan Teplitzky (The Railway Man, Broadchurch) and Henrik Georgsson (The Bridge) are directing the 8-part series. Marcella will premiere later this year on ITV.
Balfe’s other recent scoring credits include Michael Bay’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, which is currently playing nationwide. The composer also has scored Michael McDonagh’s War on Everyone, which will premiere next month at the Berlin Film Festival.
