First look photos have revealed an unsettling insight into Vicky McClure’s next TV project.
The Line of Duty and Trigger Point actress is set to star in Paramount+’s original drama series Insomnia this May, and by the looks of these first images from the show, viewers are set for another suspense-filled McClure drama.
In Insomnia, the TV star plays career woman Emma Averill, who begins to fear she may be losing her mind when her hard-won dream life begins to unravel into a nightmare.

As the show’s synopsis teases: “A couple of weeks before her fortieth birthday, Emma stops sleeping — just as her mother had done right before she suffered a violent psychotic breakdown on the night of her own fortieth birthday. Emma’s mother always told her she’d go the same way, that she had the same ‘bad blood’, and now Emma’s terrified it’s true.
“As events worsen, Emma’s world starts to unravel and she realises that only by investigating the truth of her painful past can she find the answers to her present and prevent tragedy from striking a second time,” the show’s teaser description concludes.
Starring alongside McClure in Paramount+’s disturbing drama are: Downton Abbey star Tom Cullen as Emma’s loving husband Robert; Smylie Bradwell and India Fowler as Emma and Tom’s children Will and Chloe; Leanne Best as Emma’s estranged sister Phoebe; Corinna Marlowe as Emma’s mother Patricia, and Inside Man star Lyndsey Marshal as Caroline, Emma’s friend and confidante.
Killing Eve star Robert Gilbert will star as Faisal, Michelle Bonnard will play D.I. Hildreth, and Dominc Tighe and Jade Harrison will star as the Averill family’s close friends Julian and Michelle Simpson.
Insomnia, directed by The Midwich Cuckoos’ Börker Sigthorsson, is another of Paramount+’s UK original scripted dramas, others of which include 2022’s The Flatshare, this January’s Sexy Beast, and this March’s A Gentleman in Moscow starring Ewan McGregor.
Insomnia will premiere on Paramount+ on Thursday, 23rd May.
