EXCLUSIVE: ITV has unveiled trailer for Gone, George Kay’s psychological drama starring Eve Myles and David Morrissey.
Set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school, a foreboding forest and the quiet sprawl of Bristol, Gone follows local Headmaster Michael Polly (Morrissey), who becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s disappearance. An upstanding member of the community, Michael is inscrutable and likes order and precision in his working life, but then he encounters gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy (Myles) and a compulsive game of cat and mouse begins as she chips away at his veneer in search of the truth. The series also stars Jennifer Macbeth, Arthur Hughes, Nicholas Nunn, Elliot Cowan, Billy Barratt, Rupert Evans, Jodie McNee, Oscar Batterham and Clare Higgins.
The series is inspired by the career and work of a 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. It is partly inspired by their book “To Hunt A Killer” and both Mackay and Murphy serve as consultants.
Gone is the latest from Kay, the co-creator of Lupin, and the show comes from his All3Media-backed Observatory Pictures and New Pictures in association with All3Media International. Kay has previously worked with Morrissey on ITV’s The Long Shadow and with Myles on Apple TV’s Hijack. Show launches next month.
Created and written by Kay, and directed by BAFTA winning Director Richard Laxton, Gone is produced by Mark Hedges and the executive producers are Kay, Laxton, Willow Grylls and Matt Sandford.
