Hit and Run Drama 'Guilt' to Air on Masterpiece in September
With many of our summer standards delayed thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, a new wave of heretofore unseen British programming is finally making its way to American shores - including the 2019 thriller Guilt, which will air on Masterpiece this September.
Unlike many of PBS's other summer offerings, which have familiar bones - the family drama Us, the new season of mystery series Unforgotten - Guilt is something that we don't often see on Masterpiece. A darkly absorbing tale of rascality and deceit, Guilt is the story of a drunken drive home that lands two brothers in increasingly hot water, as they commit more and more serious crimes to hide their culpability in a hit-and-run.
The series stars Summer of Rockets' Mark Bonnar and To the Ends of the Earth's Jamie Sives as Max and Jake, two estranged brothers who accidentally run over a pedestrian named Walter on the way home from a wedding. And although the brothers may no longer be what you'd call close, they are desperate now co-conspirators trying to cover up the worst night of their lives.
