The 2017 BBC television series about Robert Galbraith’s detective was titled Strike. It adapts the Cormoran Strike crime novels written by J.K. Rowling under the Galbraith pseudonym.
The series stars Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike and Holliday Grainger as Robin Ellacott. Its first episodes adapt The Cuckoo’s Calling, the novel that introduced Strike as a London private investigator.
The production was initially known as C.B. Strike in some markets, including the United States, before the title Strike became the main international branding. The television adaptation continued with stories based on later novels, including The Silkworm, Career of Evil, Lethal White, and Troubled Blood.
Strike is not connected to Hogwarts or the Fantastic Beasts films. It belongs to Rowling’s contemporary detective fiction, using criminal investigations, witness interviews, and forensic clues instead of magic.
