ITV’s four-part series is written by Neil Cross and inspired by the novel Burial, also written by Neil Cross. One rainy evening, Nathan (Russell Tovey) is surprised by an unwelcome face from the past. He has never been able to forget the worst night of his life: a party that led to the sudden, shocking death of a young woman. Only he and Bob (Bertie Carvel), an eccentric old acquaintance, know what really happened…and they’ve resolved to keep it that way. But years later, Bob appears at Nathan’s door with terrifying news that threatens to tear Nathan’s world apart. Because Nathan has his own secrets now. Secrets that could destroy everything he has desperately fought to build for himself and his family.
The series is directed by Niall MacCormick (The Victim, The Durrells, Doctor Thorne) and produced by Jonathan Curling (Tin Star, Baghdad Central). Executive Producers are Euston Films Managing Director Kate Harwood (Dublin Murders, Hard Sun, Baghdad Central), alongside Executive Producer for Euston Films, Noemi Spanos (Dublin Murders), and Neil Cross.
The Sister is a Euston Films production for ITV and is distributed internationally by Fremantle.
The series was commissioned for ITV by Head of Drama, Polly Hill.
