ITV has unveiled a selection of first-look images from its upcoming six-part psychological drama Gone, starring Eve Myles (The Crow Girl, Hijack, Torchwood) and David Morrissey (The Long Shadow, Sherwood, Britannia).
The series is written by acclaimed screenwriter George Kay (The Long Shadow, Hijack, Lupin) and directed by Richard Laxton (Mrs Wilson, Burton and Taylor, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, Joan). The series will premiere this spring on ITV and STV.
Gone is a chilling mystery focusing on local Headmaster Michael Polly, played by David Morrissey, who becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s disappearance. An upstanding member of the community, Michael Polly is inscrutable and likes order and precision in his working life. Until, that is, he encounters super bright, gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, and a compulsive game of cat and mouse begins as she chips away at his veneer in search of the truth. Beneath the surface of the mystery, lies a deeper exploration of trauma, trust and the legacy of elite institutions.
Take a look at five images from the series below:
The series also stars Jennifer Macbeth, Arthur Hughes, Nicholas Nunn, Elliot Cowan, Billy Barratt, Rupert Evans, Jodie McNee, Oscar Batterham and Clare Higgins.
Created, and written by George Kay, and directed by BAFTA winning Director Richard Laxton. The producer is Mark Hedges (Hanna, The Rising) and the executive producers are George Kay, Richard Laxton, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award-nominated Willow Grylls (Des, The Missing) and BAFTA Award-nominated Matt Sandford (The Long Shadow). It is co-produced by New Pictures (an All3Media company) and George Kay’s Observatory Pictures, in association with All3Media International.
Gone is a fictional series, partly inspired by the book “To Hunt a Killer” and the career and work of respected former Detective Superintendent for Gloucestershire Police, Julie Mackay, and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy who has reported on some of the biggest and most complex cases in the West of England. Both Mackay and Murphy serve as consultants on the series.
The series is a New Pictures and Observatory Pictures co-production for ITV in association with All3Media International as the international distributor.
Gone will air on ITV and STV and be available for streaming on ITVX and STV Player.
