What is A Mother's Son on ITV? Martin Clunes and Hermione Norris star in psychological drama

ITV viewers look set to get hooked on another drama which airs on the channel this week.

If the ends of Liar, The Nest and Quiz have left you with a TV drama-shaped void in your lockdown life, fear not as there's another one to get stuck into when A Mother's Son starts on Monday, April 20 at 9pm.

A Mother's Son cast includes Martin Clunes and Hermione Norris and the series is a two-part drama written by Chris Lang and filmed on location in London and Suffolk, that was first screened in 2012.

The synopsis for the show in an ITV press release reads: "When a teenage schoolgirl is found murdered in the woods near a local town in Suffolk the news rips through the heart of the whole community, and that of mother of two, Rosie Haleton (Hermione Norris), who discovers damning evidence that could be connected to the heinous crime.

"Recently remarried, Rosie lives with her two children Jamie (Alexander Arnold) and Olivia, husband Ben Harley (Martin Clunes), and his children from a previous marriage, Jessica and Rob.

"As the newly formed family settle into daily life living together under one roof, Rosie begins to suspect she may be sharing her home with a killer when she finds a pair of blood-splattered trainers hidden under her son Jamie’s bed.

"At first Rosie tries to dismiss her suspicions believing them too incomprehensible to be true. Could her teenage boy be involved in murder?"

A Mother's Son cast also includes former Doctor Who star Paul McGann.
