Fresh, relevant and thought-provoking, D.I. RAY introduces viewers to Leicester-born Rachita Ray (Parminder Nagra), a police officer who takes on a case that forces her to confront a lifelong personal conflict between her British identity and her South Asian heritage. In the gripping four-part series, D.I. Ray goes on a journey that sees her uncover a complex web of deceit within organized crime, while laying bare the wounds deep within herself that she’s spent a lifetime ignoring. 

During its UK broadcast, the drama received critical praise for its updated take on the formulaic crime thriller, “A police procedural with a fresh perspective…” cheered The Guardian, and National World commended “…a clever blend of thoughtful character study with an engaging police procedural, worth watching for its lead alone.” 

Nagra is joined by a highly talented cast including Gemma Whelan as her boss DCI Kerry Henderson; Jamie Bamber as D.I. Martyn Hunter — who is also Ray’s fiancé; and Maanuv Thiara as P.S. Tony Khatri, Rachita’s partner.
