We love nothing more than the announcement of a new TV drama and this brand new show from ITV sounds equal parts gripping and chilling.
The Sister is set to star some big names including Russell Tovey (Years and Years, Him & Her), Bertie Carvel (Doctor Foster), Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones) and Simone Ashley (Sex Education).

The show will be a "chilling and suspenseful" four-part drama about murder, exposing the "quiet terror of a man trying to escape his past," according to ITV.
It will follow well-meaning but directionless Nathan (Tovey), a man with a terrible secret. He's prayed it'll stay buried and he's tried to make up for it, but how long can something like this stay hidden?
Years into his new married life, he is rocked to the core when Bob (Carvel), an unwelcome face from his past, shows up.

He has shocking news and it triggers a series of catastrophic decisions which bring a tense compelling narrative of psychological suspense, dread, love and even just possibly, redemption.
But it may not be your typical murder drama, as it may incorporate supernatural or ghostly elements too according to ITV. Will this guy be haunted by his past perhaps?
The Sister, formerly titled Because the Night, is written by Neil Cross, so we know it's in good hands as he also penned Luther.
The show is set to come to ITV later this year, but the date has not yet been confirmed.
