In fall, Masterpiece contemporary will show dramas set in modern times.

Highlights from This Season:

The Last Enemy

Benedict Cumberbatch (Atonement, Spooks), Max Beesley, and BAFTA winner Anamaria Marinca are caught up in a powerful love triangle in the visionary new thriller The Last Enemy.

Also starring Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting, The Full Monty), David Harewood (The Ruby in the Smoke) and Geraldine James (The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard), The Last Enemy takes an arresting and compelling look at how technology could transform Britain into a surveillance society — threatening human relationships and destroying trust.

From acclaimed screenwriter Peter Berry (Prime Suspect 6, Kiszko — A Life for a Life), The Last Enemy follows a group of characters — including a scientist, an aid worker, and a desperate father — who are each trying to deal with crises in their own lives when they unwittingly get caught up in a global mystery.
