According to Ian MacLeod, the story is based on true events, “which centers on a senseless act of violence, will draw in characters from all corners of our narrative universe and will, we hope, leave the audience with a clear message.”

“Everyone, regardless of how they look, how they dress, or any aspect of how they live their lives, should be treated with tolerance and respect,” he continued.

The hate crime storyline is expected to continue for several months and fans can expect more drama and unexpected events as the story unfolds.

“The story will run across the rest of the year and beyond, with many twists and turns, and will be heartbreaking and dramatic in equal measure. In the end, the story will see an optimistic outcome emerge from the traumatic attack,” he added.
