Winter is coming soon to ITV, and the new crime drama combines two of our favourite things – Richard Armitage looking steely and mysterious, with a compelling police procedural.
Described as a “captivating” new series, it positions fan favourite Richard in the leading role as Dr Ethan Winter.
He’s an “unconventional forensic pathologist whose brilliance, sharp intellect and rule-breaking approach helps the police solve some of the most complex murder cases”.
Yes, readers, he’s a maverick.
Even better, he has a deeply-buried secret that none of his colleagues know about… What more could you want from a crime drama?!
ITV’s Winter introduces Dr Ethan Winter, one of the most gifted pathologists of his generation.
He possesses an “extraordinary analytical mind”, which is capable of “impeccable deductive reasoning”.
Ethan uses his brilliant mind to help police solve some of the Bristol’s most complex murder cases.
His methods “perfectly complement” those of DI Lauren Bell. She’s a meticulous, no-nonsense detective who is as driven as Winter when working on a case.
Together they make a formidable team, as “Winter’s genius and insight into the victims is invaluable to Bell and her murder squad detectives”.
Yet viewers eventually discover that Winter is harbouring a secret…
The ITV synopsis tells us: “The unsolved murder of someone close to him still haunts his every move.
And he’s intent on unofficially investigating the death to bring the murderer to justice.
This personal thread runs beneath the six-part series, with each episode featuring its own compelling, self-contained crime story.”
Richard Armitage (https://www.tvguide.co.uk/articles/missing-you-richard-armitage-harlan-coben-collaborations/) stars as gifted pathologist Dr Ethan Winter in the cast of Winter on ITV.
Of course, the actor is known for his role in multiple Harlan Coben thrillers, as well as playing Guy of Gisborne in Robin Hood, Daniel Miller in Berlin Storm, and Lucas North in Spooks.
