There's nothing hotter in the world of TV right now than adaptations of popular books, especially those that cater to younger audiences.
The BBC is hoping some of the buzz created by the recent success of shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder will lead viewers to its newest offering, Crookhaven, which is adapted from the book series by JJ Arcanjo.
The show is set in a school that provides anything but traditional lessons - teaching young criminals from around the world to use their skills for good.
It features a host of up-and-coming young actors, who have appeared in shows such as Adolescence, Heartstopper and The Witcher.
For 23-year-old Lucas Leach, who plays pickpocket Gabriel, returning to school to film Crookhaven was a cathartic experience.
