Overview
- The six-part forensic crime drama led by Richard Armitage and Annabel Scholey debuted on ITV1 at 9pm on Wednesday, September 30 and will air weekly on ITV with a full box set on ITVX.
- Armitage plays Dr Ethan Winter, an unconventional pathologist who reads bodies to solve self-contained murder cases while a long-running personal mystery about his past threads through the series.
- The show was adapted from the French drama Balthazar by David Allison and Mark Greig and was filmed in Belgium, where producers built an elaborate Victorian-style laboratory set described by the executive producer as central to the show’s look.
- The principal cast includes Jamie Kenna alongside Armitage and Scholey with a wider supporting ensemble listed in press coverage, and ITV is marketing the series to fans of forensic-led procedurals.
- ITV confirmed PBS as a co-producer, which signals a forthcoming U.S. broadcast on PBS Masterpiece at an unannounced date, and UK viewers need an ITVX account and a valid TV licence to stream the episodes online.
