Irish stars serve up suspense in new series Fifteen-Love

Poldark's Aidan Turner and rising Irish star Ella Lily Hyland are the leads in Fifteen-Love, Prime Video's "provocative new drama set in the world of elite tennis", which premieres on Friday 21 July - check out the first trailer above.

Prime Video says: "Fifteen-Love explores the story of Justine Pearce (Hyland), a dynamic young sports prodigy, who had a meteoric rise in the world of Grand Slam Tennis.

"Glenn Lapthorn (Turner) was Justine's maverick coach with whom she shared an intense rapport. Together they reached the Semi-Finals of the French Open.

"However, tragedy struck on court, and Justine's dream of sporting glory was cut brutally short by a devastating injury, which resulted in a shattered wrist and the end of her professional career.

"Five years on, now aged 22, Justine is a therapist at her old tennis academy, Longwood, alongside her former physio. It seems like she is finally healed, both physically and psychologically, from her humiliating downfall on the global stage.

"But when Justine makes an explosive allegation against her former coach, everyone at Longwood is forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Justine and Glenn's past success.

"Justine and Glenn's battle over the truth of their past reaches new heights as they both seek glory at the Grand Slam grass court event of the year, and the stately world of professional tennis is rocked by lies, deceit, and a desperate bid for control.

"Examining the intense physical and mental pressures of professional sport, Fifteen-Love is a gripping and sensitive exploration of trust, power and obsession, and what can be lost when you'll do anything to win..."

Fifteen-Love has been written and created by Hania Elkington, whose credits also include The Essex Serpent and The Innocents, and is produced by World Productions, the production company behind Line of Duty and Vigil.

Fifteen-Love premieres on Prime Video on Friday 21 July.
