The Sister cast as four part thriller launches to great anticipation on ITV

If you're looking for a TV show to get stuck into this week, ITV might have the answer with The Sister.

It won't have escaped you that we're coming up to Halloween and, while the coronavirus pandemic has thwarted plenty of people's plans for spooky celebrations, you can still get a chill down your spine from the comfort of your sofa.

Hot on the heels of much talked about drama Honour, The Sister got going on Monday night and is inspired by the novel Burial, written by Neil Cross, the writer responsible for huge TV hits like Luther and Spooks.

The new drama's main character Nathan has never been able to forget the worst night of his life: a party that led to the sudden, shocking death of a young woman.

Only he and Bob, an eccentric old acquaintance, know what really happened… and they’ve resolved to keep it that way. But years later, Bob appears at Nathan’s door with terrifying news that threatens to tear Nathan’s world apart.

Bob's appearance sends Nathan spiralling and the repercussions will be laid bare in front of what is expected to be a large audience over four consecutive nights on ITV this week.

And there will be some recognisable faces on screen...

Nathan - Russell Tovey
Bob - Bertie Carvel
