Keeley Hawes Drama 'Honour' Arrives on Britbox in February

Keeley Hawes drama Honour, which tells the story of a tragic honor killing in London in 2006, is coming to America this February on streaming service Britbox.

The series is based on the investigation into the real-life murder victim Banaz Mahmod, who disappeared in 2006. After months of searching, investigators found the body of the young Londoner buried in a suitcase in Birmingham. She had been raped, strangled, and murdered by members of her own family for divorcing her abusive husband and beginning a relationship with another man.

The series focuses on the events leading up to Banaz's tragic death as well as the investigation that followed.

The Durrells in Corfu star plays Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Goode, whose long search to discover the fate of the missing 20-year-old became a personal obsession.

DCI Goode discovered that Banaz had been to the police five times to report threats to her life from members of her own family. Appalled that her own colleagues had missed multiple chances to save a young woman’s life and prevent a so-called “honor” killing, Caroline vowed that she would not rest until she finally got justice for Banaz.
