New 6 part drama /thriller starts sat 16th itv
As good as Big Little Lies”: One Night is Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker’s “hidden gem” drama coming to ITV
The six-part hidden gem was originally released on Paramount+ in 2023, but is now coming to ITV and will be available to watch this August.
Created and written by the award-winning Emily Ballou (The Slap, Taboo) and directed by Catherine Millar (The Twelve, The Secrets She Keeps) as well as Lisa Matthews (Doctor Doctor, The PM’s Daughter), it's just the sort of thrilling watch we need right now.
While we await One Night's arrival on our screens, here’s everything to know about the series, including the plot, cast and the release date.
The series focuses on three women – formerly childhood close friends – who all reunite in their small coastal hometown after years spent living separate lives.
When one of them, an aspiring novelist, anonymously publishes a book about a traumatic night they shared two decades ago, it becomes a surprise overnight success.
The mystery drama follows three women whose bond was all but destroyed by the traumatic events of one fateful night 20 years ago.
All hell breaks loose upon the novel’s release, where fact becomes hard to separate from fiction – and all their friendships threatened in the process.
Filmed between Sydney and New South Wales, the show contains stunning shots of the Australian coast, providing a contrast to the dark secrets bubbling beneath the surface.
As we mentioned, Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker plays a starring role as Tess – having just appeared in Netflix smash Toxic Town (https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/a63599947/toxic-town-netflix/), and recently landed a role in the forthcoming BBC adaptation of the hit stage show Dear England (https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/a65329287/dear-england-bbc-one/). Whittaker’s friends in One Night are played by Nicole da Silva (Wentworth, Rush), as Simone, and Orange is the New Black’s Yael Stone as Hat.
