Channel 4 has a seductive new thriller in the works, starring Bridgerton’s Katie Leung and House of the Dragon star Solly McLeod – and it sounds like a must-watch.
The four-part series, titled Careless, will undoubtedly be a gripping watch. Not only is the show created by Louise Fox, whose writing credits include ITV’s smash hit drama Broadchurch, alongside thriller author Helen Fitzgerald, but it’s also produced by acclaimed production companies Easy Tiger (Scrublands, The Twelve) and Synchronicity Films (The Tattooist of Auschwitz).

What is Careless about?
Billed as a “provocative” thriller, the series follows Scottish backpacker Robbie (Solly McLeod), who becomes determined to secure a role as the live-in carer for notorious rock ‘n’ roll legend Mike (Richard Roxburgh) after he is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in Sydney. To his delight, Robbie lands the job.
But as Robbie grows closer to Mike, he also forms a bond with Mike’s wife Angela (Robyn Malcolm), and becomes a confidante to both of them.
The synopsis continues: “As Robbie integrates himself further in their relationship, it becomes clear there’s something in Robbie’s past which may put Mike and Angela in serious danger.”
