Strike Plot and Cast
The series will take the plot forward from the fourth season, which ended on an interesting note. While dealing with the case of the disappearance of a girl decades ago, Cormoran and Robin also get entangled in far-left British politics. Their personal lives will also be a focus of the plot.
As each series of Strike has followed the events of a Strike novel, it’s almost certain that a fifth series of the TV show will tell the story of the Troubled Blood book. The synopsis for Troubled Blood, teases that Cormoran Strike will take on his first-ever cold case after he’s approached by a woman whose mother went missing more than 40 years before.
The expected cast members of the upcoming season include Kerr Logan as Matthew Cunliffe., Ben Crompton as “Shanker”, Natasha O’Keeffe as Charlotte Campbell., and Killian Scott as D.I. Eric Wardle., Ann Akin as Vanessa Ekwensi, Sargon Yelda as D.I. Richard Anstis and Caitlin Innes Edwards as Ilsa Herbert.
