Scott and Bailey is a British police procedural series that debuted on ITV on May 29, 2011, and concluded on April 2016. The series stars Suranne Jones, Lesley Sharp, Amelia Bullmore, Nicolas Gleaves, Danny Miller and Pippa Wainwright.
The show was developed by Sally Lindsay and Suranne Jones. The show mainly written by Sally Wainwright revolves around the personal and professional lives of Detectives in the fictional Manchester Metropolitan Police.
Despite continued good reception and strong viewership, it was decided to end the series after an abbreviated 5th series in 2016 for creative reasons.
In March 2018, Canadian TV remade the series as The Detail but the show was cancelled after one season.
