FIRST LOOK Gone

It centres around a Headmaster who becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.

ITV1 has released a number of first look images from their upcoming gripping new psychological drama, Gone, from George Kay, starring Eve Myles and David Morrissey. 

Set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school, a foreboding forest and the quiet sprawl of Bristol, Gone is a chilling mystery focusing on local Headmaster Michael Polly, played by David Morrissey, who becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s disappearance.

An upstanding member of the community, Michael Polly is inscrutable and likes order and precision in his working life. Until, that is, he encounters super bright, gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, and a compulsive game of cat and mouse begins as she chips away at his veneer in search of the truth.

With tension in the air, yet Polly not displaying any emotion, Annie’s suspicions are heightened the more she investigates. Something in her gut tells her all is not what it seems.  Could he be capable of murder? And if so, why?

Sarah and Michael’s daughter, Alana, played by Emma Appleton, is a teacher at the school, making their involvement a real family affair.

Beneath the surface of the mystery lies a deeper exploration of trauma, trust and the legacy of elite institutions.

Gone also stars Jennifer Macbeth, Arthur Hughes, Nicholas Nunn, Elliot Cowan, Billy Barrett, Rupert Evans, Jodie McNee, Oscar Batterham and Clare Higgins.

Written and created by George Kay, Gone is co-produced by New Pictures (an All3Media company) and George Kay’s Observatory Pictures, in association with All3Media International, directed by Richard Laxton, produced by Mark Hedges and executive produced by Willow Grylls and Matt Sandford.

Gone is a fictional series, partly inspired by the book To Hunt a Killer and the career and work of respected former Detective Superintendent for Gloucestershire Police, Julie Mackay, and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy, who has reported on some of the biggest and most complex cases in the West of England. Both Mackay and Murphy serve as consultants on the series.

Gone will air soon on ITV1
