The TV series will follow three police detectives as they investigate a serial killer that killed six people, and then he fashioned a Frankenstein-like monster from the remains of those bodies to create a terrifying Frankenstein-like beast.

Ragdoll was adapted from Daniel Cole’s bestseller of the same title. This six-part thriller is created by the crew behind the popular crime series.

In the new series, which was released this week in the UK on Alibi, Henry Lloyd-Hughes plays DS Rose, with British-Brazilian actress Thalissa Teixeira as his friend and colleague DI Emily Baxter. 

After viewing the horror, which the detectives call ‘Ragdoll’, Rose returns to his office to discover a letter from them with a list of six future victims – and the last name on there is Rose himself.  

Described as this year’s ‘goriest murder drama’ by The Guardian, the series sees characters set alight, taking part in bloody brawls and visited decapitated bodies in morgues.   

Gruesome new TV series Ragdoll, which is based on Daniel Cole's popular novel of the same name, could be set to follow in the footsteps of Killing Eve

The grisly TV show Ragdoll is set on Daniel Cole’s bestseller of the same title. 

Described as this year's 'goriest murder drama' by T he Guardian , the series sees characters set alight, taking part in bloody brawls and visited decapitated bodies in morgues

The Guardian calls it the year’s most gruesome murder drama. Characters are set on fire, and they take part in violent brawls. They also visit decapitated bodies at morgues.

AMC calls the series ‘darkly hilarious, gruesomely creative serial killer thriller. Ragdoll also portrays fascinating, flawed friends dealing with trauma and institutionalization. 

Ragdoll, a dark and comedic investigation into crime that is related to the case of The Ragdoll Killer, can be found here.

This book examines six horrendous murders that took place in the Ragdoll. It also focuses on the hunt for the serial killer who sent the police a list with possible victims. 

It does sound a bit like the 2001 Jeepers Creepers classic horror movie, which saw victims being sewn together in an horrific and bloody pattern. 

The most shocking scene in the series comes as the three detectives uncover a gruesome discovery - six bodies sewn together and suspended from the ceiling

This is the shockingest scene from the series. The three detectives find six bodies bound together and suspended from a ceiling.

Ragdoll is partly about the hunt for a killer but also about the relationship between the three detectives on the case

Ragdoll is partly about hunting for the killer, but it also focuses on the relationships between the three investigators involved in the investigation.

The flashback takes us back to Mark Hooper’s court case, which was referred to as The Cremation Killer. 

Hooper, despite being guilty as sin himself, smirks at Rose as he is evaded justice due to inadmissible evidence. 

Rose who had been working on Hooper’s defense for many months, finds it all too difficult. The defendant snaps, jumps across the courtroom and beats him to a pulp.

Rose meets Joel later in the psychiatric units. He tells Rose that he is able to arrange for Hooper’s death. Rose finds out that Hooper owns Ragdoll.

Ragdoll is partly about the search for the killer, but also the relationship among the three detectives working on this case.

Rose and Baxter may be closer than they seem, but the cuckoo is American DC Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale of US Teen Drama Pretty Little Liars). Although she is inept and humourless, her bonding with the other members of the group only comes about slowly.

Speaking to DailyMail’s weekend magazine  Henry readily accepted that his character is deeply flawed but said that, in the best traditions of dysfunctional TV detectives, he’s also a bit of a genius when it comes to cracking crimes. 

Henry, 36, explained that he actually had a rank higher until an incident involving suspects led him to be removed from the police force. 

“It is unfortunate that the first person he has been asked to look into after his stint in a mental unit includes the one who made him there.”

The team behind the series will be hoping it is as popular as BBC's Killing Eve, which much-anticipated fourth season will air on television next year

After the thrilling finale of season 3, viewers were captivated when Eve and Villanelle stood front-to-back at London Bridge. They agreed to walk off and ‘never again’.

However, Eve and Villanelle looked at one another in the closing moments of episode – suggesting that they might be together.

Fans were delighted by the promise of a relationship in the future and begged for the continuation of the series with these characters.

It also concluded the series by revealing Konstantin’s suspected killer. CCTV footage captured Konstantin (Kim Bodnia), arriving at work and meeting Kenny (Sean Delaney), hours before his tragic death.
