Where Can I Watch the “CB Strike” TV Series? Holliday Grainger as Robin and Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike He works closely with his assistant, Robin, later to become his partner in the series. They solve mysterious crime cases that not only lead to more danger but also challenge his boundaries. Barraclough, Leo (1 November 2016). "Holliday Grainger to Star in J.K. Rowling's 'Cormoran Strike' ". Variety. BBC announced adapting Galbraith’s Strike series for TV in 2016. The first season premiered in August 2017 starring Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike and Holliday Grainger as Robin Ellacott. Perhaps just as much as the mystery, the tension and will-they-won’t-they between Strike and Robin has kept fans hooked. Charlotte Campbell (Ross): Strike's ex-fiancée. Wealthy and mercurial, she and Strike had a tempestuous on-off relationship for 16 years after first meeting at Oxford, but Strike ends their engagement for good as the events of the first novel begin. She walks out of his life literally at the moment Robin walks into it. She allegedly lied to Strike about being pregnant with his child. She later marries her pre-Strike Oxford boyfriend, Jago Ross, and soon becomes pregnant with twins, although she remains interested in Strike, especially after he becomes famous. He considers her to be a compulsive liar with an insatiable need for drama. She kills herself in the seventh book.

Linda Ellacott: Robin's mother, first appearing in the second novel. She is a generally kind and supportive woman who, Strike notes, her daughter physically resembles. She visits London to care for her daughter, supporting her decision to take a break in her relationship with Matthew. She is concerned by the possible dangers of her daughter's work, and suspicious about the extent of Robin's feelings towards Strike himself. As we mentioned above, the first four books in the series have already been adapted for television, airing originally on BBC One in the UK. In the UK, the series is simply called Strike, while the series is known as CB Strike in the US.

He's a bit of a mess, but he's talented, dedicated, and determined to make a success of the business. Unlike many classic male detectives, it's easy to like Cormoran Strike. When Robin Ellacott enters the picture, she's essentially the missing piece in his life – though neither of them realise it. Rowling’s first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in 1997. J.K. Rowling did not publish any books for adults until she published The Casual Vacancy in 2011 under her own name which was received with mixed reactions. Near the first book's end, after solving the Landry case and before Robin is ready to leave for a permanent position elsewhere, Strike gives her the gift of a green silk dress she had previously tried on at the Vashti boutique as part of their investigation. This dress is significant to both of them, though its importance is unspoken by each. Finally, the two decide that Robin will stay on. Sullivan, Kevin P. (24 September 2015). "New details about J.K. Rowling's BBC series revealed". Entertainment Weekly . Retrieved 9 December 2015.

Allen, Ben (30 August 2017). "JK Rowling could write 'at least another 10' Strike books as Robert Galbraith". Radio Times. Archived from the original on 24 May 2018 . Retrieved 23 May 2018. The Silkworm is Book 2 in the Cormoran Strike series. Strike’s newest case is to find a novelist that has disappeared, Owen Quine. Quine’s wife hires Strike because she wants her husband to come home, but she just suspects he’s off on his own as he is wont to do. So the obvious question becomes, why did J.K. Rowling write as Robert Galbraith instead of herself? As you might already suspect, the answer is that she didn’t want the pressure of writing as Rowling. With the wide-spread success of Harry Potter, certain expectations are placed upon Rowling for any book she publishes.

The fifth case, Troubled Blood, began filming not too long ago, and is expected to air on BBC One sometime in 2022/23. International distribution and dates are currently unknown, but it seems likely to end up on HBO Max in the US, given that they have the rights to the previous episodes. His journey dealing with dangerous crime cases, spiced by his challenging life, engages the reader throughout the books. Robin goes undercover at the UHC and finds much unlawful activity and speaks to Will. She learns that he was not informed of his mother's death and that he has fathered a daughter inside the church. For those who love crime fiction, the Cormoran Strike novel series will keep you entertained throughout. The story revolves around detective Cormoran Strike. He is a retired military soldier who is broke and wounded when he starts a PI company. They're especially good for those who enjoy LONG reads with a lot of personal life and character/world building along the way. If you like a pure procedural or puzzle mystery, they may not be for you.

The books are a mixture of medium-intensity mysteries with a lot of character development and a hint of long-game romance. The Silkworm is a bit gruesome in places, but for the most part, they're somewhere in the middle of the “cosy-gritty” spectrum.

Strike's uncle Ted becomes increasingly unwell with dementia.
