ITV is set to release a gripping new psychological thriller titled Gone, penned by acclaimed writer George Kay, known for his work on Lupin. The series promises a tense, character-driven drama with high stakes.

Leading the cast is David Morrissey as Michael Polly, the enigmatic headmaster of an elite school whose life is upended by the mysterious disappearance of his wife. Alongside him, Eve Myles will play Annie Cassidy, a determined detective who becomes increasingly suspicious of Polly and draws closer to unravelling his secrets.

The plot unfolds across a striking mix of locations: a prestigious school campus, a shadowy woodland, and the city streets of Bristol. As the investigation deepens, Cassidy must navigate a complex web of lies, power, and personal regret to uncover the truth about Polly. What emerges is a disturbing portrait of a man whose public persona masks darker truths.

Produced by New Pictures in association with Observatory Pictures, Gone marks a collaborative and ambitious project. George Kay serves as creator and executive producer; his signature multi-layered storytelling is expected to bring emotional depth and unexpected twists to the series.

ITV has confirmed that Gone will include six episodes, allowing enough room to explore its themes of trust, betrayal, and redemption. Viewers can anticipate a nuanced thriller infused with moral ambiguity and a cast of morally complex characters prepared to challenge their assumptions—starting with a man whose darkest secret may be hidden behind the school’s most respected walls.
