A “gripping” psychological thriller will be launching on ITV today (August 26), starring Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson.
Platform 7 is an adaption of Louise Doughty’s globally renowned bestselling novel of the same name by screenwriter Paula Milne.
The series which first premiered on ITVX last year is a haunting thriller following central character Lisa who, after witnessing a cataclysmic event on platform 7 at Peterborough station, finds her own fragmented memory jogged to reveal a connection between her own life and that of the event she has just witnessed.
Supernatural elements combine with contemporary realism in this chilling drama.

How many episodes of Platform 7 are there?
In total, there are four 60-minute episodes of Platform 7.
Speaking about why Doughty chose to base the story at Peterborough station, she explained to iNews: “I used to have a standing joke that if I had been bad and died and went to purgatory, I would find myself trapped on Peterborough railway station on a freezing November night.
“That’s where the idea- came from: a railway station as a metaphor for purgatory, and a young woman who has died there in mysterious circumstances and is trapped there until the mystery of her death is solved.”

Instead, the concourse and forecourt were filmed at Kidderminster station in Worcestershire, reports iNews.
