ITV has unveiled a gripping first look at its upcoming psychological thriller series, titled 'Gone', generating significant buzz among viewers. The six-part drama features acclaimed Welsh actress Eve Myles in a pivotal role, alongside David Morrissey, known for his performance in 'Sherwood'.
Compelling Plot and Suspenseful Trailer
The series centres on Michael Polly, portrayed by David Morrissey, a headmaster whose life unravels when he becomes the prime suspect in the mysterious disappearance of his wife, Sarah. Billed as a compulsive game of cat and mouse, the narrative delves into the intense interrogation and psychological tension between Michael and the detectives.
In the newly released trailer, viewers are introduced to Detective Sergeant Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, who interrogates Michael about his delayed reporting of his wife's absence. Cassidy pointedly questions, "If you knew within minutes something was wrong, why have you taken so long to tell us?" This sets the stage for a chilling exploration of guilt and suspicion.
Fan Reactions and Anticipation
The trailer has quickly sparked enthusiastic comments from fans on social media, with many expressing their eagerness for the series. One viewer remarked, "Looking forward to seeing this," while another added, "Both fantastic actors, this should be good." Further excitement was evident in comments such as "Can't wait for this" and "With Eve Myles in it - it will obviously be brilliant. And David Morrissey is good too! Can't wait!"
Additional scenes in the trailer show Michael pursued by the media and his distressed daughter revealing that her mother was 'scared of him'. A haunting voiceover from Cassidy asks, "Look at the state he's in! Is that grief he's feeling, or guilt?" as Michael is seen walking ominously through woods, leaving audiences to speculate on his involvement.
