Suranne posted the same picture on her Instagram Stories, where she told her followers, “New character, new hair” and tagged the salon behind the look.
What is Vigil about?
Set in Scotland, Vigil centres on the events following the disappearance of a fishing vessel and a death on one of the UK’s Trident nuclear submarines.
A plot synopsis released by the BBC reads: “DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) leads an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that threatens the very heart of Britain’s nuclear deterrent.”
New character, new hair.
Suranne, who impressed viewers last year as Anne Lister in BBC One period drama Gentleman Jack, has previously spoken of her excitement at taking on the role of DCI Silva.
She said: “[Screenwriter] Tom Edge has created a thrill of a story, set in a world I knew nothing about. The cast and crew World Productions have put together to tell this story is so exciting.
‘Complex’ character
“Amy Silva is a brilliantly complex character, thrown into a highly charged situation where her authority is weakened.
“We watch as she navigates her own personal trauma and loss, all at a time when she’s questioning her relationships and life choices.”

“It will be a real honour to work with Suranne and I am looking forward to be filming back in Scotland.”
