Saffron Hocking stars as Bella in Hit Point
A tense first look at the drama shows Nick Blood (Day of the Jackal) and BAFTA nominee Saffron Hocking (Top Boy) in their leading roles as detectives Leo and Bella. In one photo, Bella takes cover while holding a gun; the second shows a serious-looking Leo arriving at a crime scene.
Like Line of Duty, Hit Point promises “edge-of-your-seat action” and “high stakes drama,” while viewers can also expect a “sizzling” romance between the two detectives.
