Overview
- Channel 4 launches Pierre at 9pm on Monday 5 October as a six‑part crime drama built around David Harewood in the title role.
- Harewood plays Pierre Jeffreys, an overworked West London duty solicitor who refuses to accept the police account after his young Black client Michael dies in suspicious circumstances.
- The investigation pits Pierre against police figures including DS Ronnie Miller, played by Jason Flemyng, and puts his job and home life under strain.
- The cast also includes Michele Austin, Sara Powell, Cherrelle Skeete, Dean‑Charles Chapman and newcomer Ezrae Maye as Michael.
- Early coverage on premiere day highlights Harewood's first leading TV role and his public profile, noting his 2023 OBE and his past work on mental‑health issues, and a Radio Times review published at broadcast praised his performance without revealing plot outcomes.
