Some moods call for a warm and fuzzy romance and sometimes you want to embrace the low-level stress and shock that comes with a juicy (and often terrifying) thriller. We want to be on the edge of our seats, constantly guessing and thinking about a series long after we’ve switched the TV off and gone to bed. And ITV has just announced a new series that seems guaranteed to get our minds racing.

Returning to the world of thrillers, Happy Valley’s James Norton is set to star in the new psychological thriller Playing Nice, which will land on our screens in the new year. The four-part series is packed with suspicion, secrets and hard decisions.

Here’s everything we know so far about ITV’s latest thriller.

**What is the plot of Playing Nice?**

In a terrifying tale, two couples discover that their toddlers were switched at birth and have to navigate an impossible dilemma: do they keep the children they have raised or reclaim their biological child?

One couple, Pete and Maddie, are launched into the world of the other couple, Miles and Lucy. At first, the four of them seem to have reached an agreement. However, suspicions begin to creep in when hidden motives appear to be at play. How far can each couple trust the real parents of their child – or even each other?

We finally have a release date for James Norton’s new psychological thriller, Playing Nice
