ITV has announced Gone, a gripping new psychological drama led by a heavyweight team both in front of and behind the camera.
The upcoming six-part series is penned by George Kay – the screenwriter behind hit shows like The Long Shadow, Hijack, and Lupin.
Gone brings together two major stars with Eve Myles taking on the complex role of Detective Annie Cassidy and David Morrissey portraying the enigmatic headmaster Michael Polly.
Set in the atmospheric surroundings of a prestigious private school, the series dives into the mysterious disappearance of Michael’s wife, Sarah, and the intense investigation that follows.
Viewers will see the unyielding and intuitive Detective Cassidy clash with Michael, who quickly becomes the prime suspect, setting up a tense psychological game between the leads.
The cast also features Emma Appleton as Michael and Sarah’s daughter Alana, alongside supporting performances from Jennifer Macbeth, Arthur Hughes, Nicholas Nunn, Elliot Cowan, Billy Barrett, Rupert Evans, Jodie McNee, Oscar Batterham and Clare Higgins.
Eve Myles said: “I’m thrilled to be playing Detective Annie Cassidy in George Kay’s brilliantly written drama Gone. Annie is a fascinating character, intuitive, gutsy and doesn’t suffer fools, but she has met her match in Michael Polly who is a formidable adversary played by David Morrissey. It’s wonderful to be directed by Richard Laxton and I can’t wait for the audience to see it.”
David Morrissey added: “I’m delighted to be reunited with George Kay and the wonderful team at New Pictures. And to be working for the first time with the amazing Eve Myles and Richard Laxton.”
Gone will air on ITV, STV, and stream on ITVX and STV Player in the UK.
