A new thriller series for ITV1 will be arriving on the platform soon in Passenger, which stars Wunmi Mosaku.
She plays former Met Police detective Riya Ajunwa who investigates a series of "strange and inexplicable crimes" that have left the people of Cheddar Vale quite perplexed.
The six-part series marks the screenwriting debut of Andrew Buchan, who is known for his acting roles in Better and Carnival Row.
A description of the series on the Radio Times reads: "As an outsider to the small town world of Cheddar Vale, Riya is left confused when a local girl goes missing and turns up the next day, with everyone seemingly going back to normal with minimal questions. But all is not as it seems, so can Riya get to the bottom of what's actually going on?"
The residents of Chadder Vale are awaiting your arrival.

When the show was first announced Buchan said: "I’ve always loved shows where the known collides with the unknown… where you see communities faced with something horrifying and inexplicable, where, as a viewer, you’ve nothing in your kit-bag to explain it.
"When I started writing the scripts, I wanted to create something epic and unknown but also bed it somewhere close to home. Having grown up in Lancashire it felt like the perfect place for it. We’ll definitely see the residents of Chadder Vale pushed to their limits."
