Alex Heffes has composed the original score for the first couple of episodes of the new ITV drama Next of Kin. The show is created by Paul Rutman (Indian Summers, Vera) & Natasha Narayan and stars Archie Panjabi and Jack Davenport. The 6-part series follows a Mona, a whip-smart GP who lives in London with a political lobbyist husband. Their family life is shattered when Mona’s brother is brutally murdered while working for a medical charity abroad. Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) has directed the first three episodes. Heffes has previously collaborated with Chadwick on the movies Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and The First Grader. Next of Kin will premiere in the UK on January 8 on ITV.
As previously reported, Heffes also has the features Pickpockets and The Elephant Queen coming up.
Absolutely love the score for this programme!!!
