The two-part series hails from The Girl and Vanity Fair writer Gwyneth Hughes for ITV. 

According to Variety, Hawes will star as a detective attempting to bring a group of killers to justice in the wake of a so-called honor-killing.

The drama is based on the real-life story of Banaz Mahmod, a 20-year-old Londoner murdered by her own family for falling in love with the wrong man. It will follow Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Goode’s [Hawes] search to discover the fate of missing Banaz.

“In a time where honor killings are still rife, it is critical to shine a light on such an important subject,” Hawes said. “Banaz Mahmod’s story, and DCI Goode’s subsequent investigation, is certainly one that needs to be told and I am proud to be a part of it.”

“That this story is ultimately so uplifting is down to the sheer heroism and dedication of the police officers who hunted down her killers,” added Hughes. 

Honour will begin filming in September.

The Ben Wheatley-helmed project also added Sam Riley and Ben Crompton to its call sheet.

The four new additions are set to star opposite previously announced Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, and Armie Hammer in the gothic thriller.

Wheatley will direct from a script by Kingsman screenwriter Jane Goldman. Earlier versions of the script were penned by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse.

The story follows a newly married young woman who visits her husband’s imposing family estate on a bleak English coast, where she finds herself battling the shadow of his dead first wife — the mysterious Rebecca — whose legacy continues to haunt the house. 

Production is scheduled to begin next week in the UK and France.
