Canadian subscribers to Crave TV will soon have the opportunity to see David Tennant's award-winning performance as Will Burton in the BBC legal thriller The Escape Artist. David picked up a Scottish Academy award last year for his portrayal of the high-flying junior barrister whose life is shattered after he takes on the case of a vicious serial killer. Crave will be adding the three-part drama to their catalogue later this month.

The Escape Artist
The Escape Artist is an original suspense thriller set in the world of criminal law. David Tennant plays Will Burton, a talented junior barrister who specialises in spiriting people out of tight legal corners, hence his nickname of 'The Escape Artist'. Will is in high demand as he has never lost a case. But when his talents acquit the prime suspect in a horrific murder trial, that brilliance comes back to bite him with unexpected and chilling results.

The series was created and written by David Wolstencroft and also stars Toby Kebbell, Sophie and Ashley Jensen.
