You Don’t Know Me Overview on Netflix

You Don’t Know Me is a British four-part television series.

It is based on the 2017 crime novel of the same name by Imran Mahmood.

It was announced in February 2020 that Snowed-In Productions would adapt Mahmood’s novel for the BBC with Tom Edge as writer and Sarmad Masud as director.

Jules Hussey is series producer and Rienkje Attoh is producer.

Set to executive produce are Kate Crowe and Lucy Richer of the BBC as well as Ruth Kenley-Letts, Neil Blair, and Jenny Van Der Lande.

The Gist: Hero (Samuel Adewunmi), on trial for shooting and killing a South London drug dealer named Jamil Issa (Roger Nsengiyumva), hears that closing statement from the prosecutor.

Then the judge informs the jury that Hero, who did not testify on his own behalf, has dismissed his barrister and will make his closing statement himself.

Hero starts that closing statement by saying that he didn’t do what is likely going to send him to prison, and he tells his side of the story.
