Delaney & Brühlmann are also executive producing the project with 42;s Eleanor Moran (The English Game, Traitors), Rory Aitken (The Courier, Military Wives) & Ben Pugh (Welcome to the Punch, Collide) and BBC’s Ben Irving (His Dark Materials, Doctor Who). Bensi & Jurriaans have previously scored 42’s feature The Autopsy of Jane Doe produced by Aitken & Pugh. The Girl Before will premiere in the UK this Sunday, December 19 on BBC One and will debut in the U.S. next year on HBO Max.
Also coming up for Bensi & Jurriaans is Charlie McDowell’s feature Windfall, the Netflix series Pieces of Her and the fourth and final season of Ozark (premiering on January 21, 2022)
