The Reunion is a six-part series that will be shown in weekly double episodes on ITV1 from Friday August 4 at 9pm and 10pm. The drama has already been shown on ITVX from Thursday 12 January 2023
The Reunion tells the story of beguiling French student Vinca Rockwell who went missing one night in mysterious circumstances after discovering she was pregnant. Now, 25 years later, her three former friends reconnect at their school reunion in the French Riviera, including novelist Thomas Degalais (Ioan Gruffudd), who was obsessed with Vinca and returns to France determined to find out why she vanished.
But it transpires that the three friends remain bound together by some twisted secrets of that fateful night and, as the story unfolds, it’s revealed that Thomas and his friend Maxime are connected to a violent murder related to Vinca’s 1997 disappearance that could destroy everything.
"Thomas is still obsessed with Vinca, he can’t let her go," says Ioan Gruffudd. ‘The only way he can get some finality is by going back and when he gets this invitation he can’t help himself. He wants to come back and try to piece together what happened. It’s also revealed that there has also been a murder in the past, which Thomas and his friends were directly involved in!"
Ioan says: "Thomas left the South of France, where he studied at the International School in the early 1990s, in order to become a novelist. But, against his better judgement, he returns for this high-school reunion because he’s still obsessed with Vinca Rockwell, the girl he was in love with back then. She disappeared one night and he decides to come back to try and piece together that mystery. At the same time, it’s revealed that there has also been a murder in the past, which Thomas and his friends were directly involved in. So when he returns to the South of France, that catches up with him and the whole mystery starts to unravel."
