ITV has released a trailer for new drama, Adultery, starring Dominic Cooper, Romola Garai, Shelley Conn and Matthew McNulty produced by Poison Pen Studios, part of ITV Studios.
The drama will launch on ITV and STV later this autumn.
Adultery is a provocative love story of passion, parenthood and peril that raises questions about class, grief and the effects of social media. Naturally authentic and bristling with forbidden desire, it focuses on two families and the love affair that threatens to uproot their whole lives.
When Tom Kirkman (Dominic Cooper) and Beth Brookes (Romola Garai) first meet they share an immediate, intense connection. The only problem is, Tom’s 15-year old daughter Jess (Leila Khan) is in a relationship with Beth’s son Ollie (Johnny Sanpher), and their young love has become all-consuming.
As Tom and Beth struggle with their undeniable desires, they must grapple with their guilt and the potential consequences for their families and partners, Hannah (Shelley Conn) and Neil (Matthew McNulty).
Will they be able to control their desires unlike their lovestruck teenagers?
Adultery (6×60) is created and written by Danny Brocklehurst. Will Sinclair will direct episodes 1-3, and Daniel O’Hara will direct episodes 4-6 with Sarah Lewis as series producer. Ben Stephenson, Preethi Mavahalli and Luke Woellhaf executive produce for Poison Pen Studios, alongside series creator and writer Danny Brocklehurst and Polly Hill for ITV.
Adultery is produced in association with ITV Studios, who will also distribute the series internationally.
