There’s nothing quite like a good thriller to keep you glued to your TV screen, is there? So, when we heard ITV was adding another one to its repertoire, it’s safe to say we were pretty excited. The six-part ‘mystery thriller’ – titled After The Flood – is set to land on screens in the new year and we have first-look images for the upcoming series.

Watch the trailer for After The Flood below:

One thing’s for sure, After The Flood looks set to get people talking. Here’s everything we know about the show so far – including its chilling premise. 

What is After The Flood about?

Set in a town hit by (you guessed it) a devastating flood, After The Flood follows the story of a PC Joanna Marshall, who is tasked with finding out what happened to an unidentified man found dead in a lift in an underground car park.

The police assume that he became trapped in the lift as the flood waters rose, but as the investigation unfolds, questions begin to arise – and PC Marshall becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him. How did he get in the lift? And why does no one in the town seem to know who he is?

As the official synopsis reads: “The mystery unfolds across the series while we also see the real impact of climate change on the lives of residents in this small town. The floods threaten to expose secrets, and fortunes and reputations are at stake. But how far will people go to protect themselves?” 

Who stars in After The Flood?

Peaky Blinders and Gentleman Jack star Sophie Rundle will take on the lead role of PC Joanna Marshall, while Philip Glenister (Belgravia, Life On Mars) will take on the role of a property developer called Jack Radcliffe.

Joining them will be Lorraine Ashbourne (Bridgerton, I Hate Suzie) as Jo’s mother, Molly, and Nicholas Gleaves (The Crown, The Rising) as Sergeant Phil Mackie, Jo’s boss and “surrogate father figure”.

Rundle’s fiancé Matt Stokoe, who has appeared in shows such as Misfits and Bodyguard, will also play Jo’s husband, Pat. Rounding off the cast are Jonas Armstrong (The Bay, Floodlights), who will play a “seemingly heroic” man called Lee, and Jacqueline Boatswain (Carnival Row, Anansi Boys) who will play local politician Sarah Mackie.

When and where will After The Flood be released?

The series will premiere on 10 January 2024 on ITV1 and ITVX in the UK, followed by an international premiere on BritBox later in 2024.
