ITVX REVEALS AUTUMN STREAMING HIGHLIGHTS

ITV have released a rundown of the new shows landing on ITVX this Autumn.

One Night

Filmed in Australia in partnership with Easy Tiger, this drama for Paramount+ is written by Emily Ballou and stars Jodie Whittaker. Three estranged friends must face their shared past when one of them publishes a book about it, derailing their relationships, bringing old traumas to the surface of their small coastal community, and stirring the perpetrators, who want to make it all go away.

Universal Basic Guys

Centres on brothers Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income programme. Now, they’re using their free time and free money to find purpose in a world where they’re no longer needed - this brand-new and highly anticipated animated comedy series from creators Adam and Craig Malamut (Sports Friends, Game of Zones, The Champions).

DC's Stargirl

This new DC Universe drama series follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. The new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series that focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.

Bay Of Fires

Series two sees Stella with a glimmer of hope on the horizon. No one has tried to kill her for some months, she has a Thursday date night with Jeremiah, and Mystery Bay is prospering under her guidance... in a somewhat chaotic manner. Such joys are short-lived, though, when she and her kids find themselves sandwiched between an unhinged apiarist drug lord, a maniacal millenarian doomsday cult, the resurrection of her nemesis Russia and a growing civil war in the town.

Unspeakable

Based on first-person experience and two non-fiction books, Bad Blood by Vic Parsons and The Gift of Death by Andre Picard, this series chronicles the emergence of HIV and Hepatitis C in Canada in the early 1980s.

Tragedy resulted after thousands of people were unnecessarily infected by tainted blood - one of the largest medical disasters in Canadian history, the blood scandal triggered a federal inquiry and precedent-setting lawsuit resulting in billions of dollars of compensation to victims.

Borderline

Forced to collaborate on a serious crime, contrasting detectives Philip Boyd and Aoife Regan, with clashing personalities and backgrounds, overcome initial friction to form an unlikely but formidable crime-fighting partnership. Amy De Bhrun and Eoin Macken star in this detective drama.

Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle

A chronicle of the transformation of Jim Jones from a charismatic preacher and champion of civil rights into an egomaniacal demagogue who led hundreds to take their own lives both willingly and forcibly. The Jonestown massacre claimed the lives of more than 900 people – the greatest single loss of American lives before September 11.

Marvel’s Runaways 

Every teenager thinks their parents are evil, but what if you found out they actually were? Marvel’s Runaways is the story of six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other but who must unite against a common foe – their parents.

Firebites

This series is set in a remote desert mining town, a hive for the last vampire stronghold shipped from Britain to Australia in 1788 by the colonial superpower to eradicate the Indigenous populations. The series is created and written by Australia’s most celebrated Indigenous auteur voice Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah, Sweet Country), who also directs along with Brendan Fletcher (Mad Bastards) and Tony Krawitz (The Tall Man, Dead Europe).

The Red Road

A gripping and dramatic thriller that presents two distinct visions of America today as played out through the conflict between two different men. The series revolves around a local sheriff (Martin Henderson) struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities: the small town where he grew up just outside of New York City, and the neighboring mountains that are home of a federally unrecognised Native American tribe.

More details will be announced in due course.
