'Temple' is a new TV thriller for Sky one starring Mark Strong.
Synopsis
'Temple' is a dark new underground thriller written by Irish playwright and screenwriter Mark O'Rowe ('Intermission'). It's a remake of the critically acclaimed Norwegian TV Series 'Valkyrien'. 'Temple' follows a respected surgeon called Daniel (Mark Strong) who finds himself drawn into a life of crime when his wife falls ill and conventional options for treatment can't help. Daniel refuses to accept the cards he has been dealt and finds himself joining forces with the obsessive yet surprisingly resourceful Lee (Daniel Mays) to start a literal underground clinic in the vast network of tunnels beneath Temple tube station in London.
They are soon joined by Anna, played by former 'Game of Thrones' star Carice van Houten, who plays a guilt-ridden medical researcher. While fugitive bank-robber Jamie (Tobi King Bakare) also joins this ragtag bunch of misfits.
Daniel does his best to juggle this dysfunctional family as his moral boundaries as a husband, friend and doctor are challenged, but just how far is he prepared to go for love?
There are no scheduled airings for this show.
