Who is in the cast of Honour on ITV?
The two-part drama was written by Gwyneth Hughes and features a number of stars in real-life roles.
Line of Duty star Keeley Hawes leads the cast as DCI Caroline Goode who brought Mahmod’s five killers to justice.
Rising star Buket Komur plays Banaz Mahmod in the series and Moe Bar-El plays her boyfriend Rahmat Sulemani.
Other actors involved include Waj Ali, Ahd, Rhianne Barreto, Michael Jibson and Robby Haynes.
She was killed in January 2006 after having already gone to the police multiple times before her death, fearful for her life.
However, these came to nothing and on one occasion the police officer who interviewed her did not believe her.
The series will also look at the investigation which followed her murder to bring those who committed the crime to justice.
According to ITV: DCI “Goode discovered that Banaz had been to the police five times to report threats to her life from members of her own family.
“Appalled that her own colleagues had missed multiple chances to save a young woman’s life and prevent a so-called ‘honour’ killing, Caroline vowed that she would not rest until she finally got justice for Banaz.
“This tense and emotionally vivid drama brings Caroline’s long and unwavering quest to life.”
Is there a trailer for ITV series Honour?
No, there is no trailer yet released for Honour on ITV.
Viewers should expect to see some footage closer to its release date in autumn.
Honour is expected to be released later in 2020.
