New ITV Series ‘Gone’ Set to Premiere in March 2026
The highly anticipated ITV series titled ‘Gone’ is set to premiere on March 8, 2026, at 9pm. The show, which consists of six episodes, stars David Morrissey as headmaster Michael Polly and Eve Myles as DS Annie Cassidy, delving into a chilling mystery surrounding a missing person.
Filmed in various locations around Bristol, the series is inspired by the book ‘To Hunt a Killer’ and explores complex themes of trauma, trust, and the legacy of elite institutions. The storyline centers on the disappearance of a character named Sarah Polly, prompting an investigation that intertwines the lives of those involved.
David Morrissey expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “I’ve not been to Bristol much before, but I’ve loved being here.” The series is directed by Richard Laxton, who noted, “It was great being back to film the city as itself this time,” highlighting the significance of the local setting in the narrative.
The scripts, written by George Kay, have already generated excitement among the cast. Eve Myles remarked, “My first impression when I read the scripts was one of intrigue and excitement because of the family liaison side of it.” This indicates a deeper emotional layer to the story, promising viewers a gripping experience.
Filming for ‘Gone’ took place between March and July 2025, allowing the production team to capture the essence of Bristol during that period. The series is partly inspired by the career and work of respected former Detective Superintendent for Gloucestershire Police, Julie Mackay, adding a layer of authenticity to the investigative elements of the show.
As the premiere date approaches, anticipation builds among viewers eager to see how the narrative unfolds and the performances of Morrissey and Myles. The combination of a strong cast, a compelling storyline, and the picturesque backdrop of Bristol sets the stage for what could be a significant addition to ITV’s lineup.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional plot twists or character developments, but observers are keen to see how ‘Gone’ will resonate with audiences when it airs on ITV1 and ITVX in March 2026.
