ITV Gone: First look at 'chilling' new psychological thriller starring David Morrissey and Eve Myles
A ‘chilling’ thriller is coming to ITV, starring Liverpool’s very own David Morrissey.
ITV has released first look pictures of its upcoming psychological drama, written by acclaimed screenwriter George Kay and directed by BAFTA winning Director Richard Laxton.
The six-part series, titled Gone, stars Eve Myles and Liverpool’s David Morrissey, and is described as a “chilling mystery”.
Set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school, a foreboding forest and the quiet sprawl of Bristol, Gone focuses on local Headmaster Michael Polly, played by David Morrissey, who becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s disappearance.
ITV Gone plot
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.
With tension in the air, yet Polly not displaying any emotion, Annie’s suspicions are heightened the more she investigates. Something in her gut tells her all is not what it seems. Could he be capable of murder? And if so – why?
Gone is 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. Both Mackay and Murphy serve as consultants on the series.
