‘Gone’ is set to land on ITV and ITVX later this spring, and the broadcaster has now revealed a batch of first-look images from the new six-part psychological drama starring Eve Myles (Torchwood, Hijack, The Crow Girl) and David Morrissey (The Long Shadow, Sherwood, Britannia).
The series centres on the unsettling disappearance of Sarah Polly, with suspicion quickly falling on her husband, local headmaster Michael Polly, played by David Morrissey. Outwardly respectable and obsessively ordered, Michael finds his carefully controlled world unravelling when he comes up against Detective Annie Cassidy, portrayed by Eve Myles. What follows is an intense psychological duel, as Annie chips away at Michael’s composed exterior in a tense game of cat and mouse that threatens to expose what lies beneath.
Beyond the central mystery, Gone digs into themes of trauma, trust, and the long shadow cast by elite institutions, giving the drama a deeper emotional and social edge alongside its thriller elements.
The drama is written and created by George Kay (The Long Shadow, Hijack, Lupin), with direction from BAFTA-winning Richard Laxton (Mrs Wilson, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe). The cast also includes Jennifer Macbeth, Arthur Hughes, Nicholas Nunn, Elliot Cowan, Billy Barratt, Rupert Evans, Jodie McNee, Oscar Batterham, and Clare Higgins.
Produced by Mark Hedges (Hanna, The Rising), the executive producer team features George Kay, Richard Laxton, Willow Grylls (Des, The Missing), and Matt Sandford (The Long Shadow). The series is a co-production between New Pictures and Observatory Pictures for ITV, in association with All3Media International.
While fictional, Gone is partly inspired by the book To Hunt a Killer and the real-world work of former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy, both of whom serve as consultants on the show.
Gone will premiere in Spring 2026 on ITV and STV, with streaming available via ITVX and STV Player. If I want to keep track of this or any other shows, I can add them via our Never Miss system, and I’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date. Visit Never Miss.
