Vicky McClure fans are getting excited about an upcoming drama from the Line of Duty star, which is set to land on ITV later this year. Here’s what we can expect from the series.

Fresh from having appeared in the ultra-tense Tigger Point, which was also on ITV, Vicky has now taken on a four-part psychological thriller, which is set to explore the relationship which develops between a grieving mother and the man she thinks murdered her daughter.

The LoD legend will play Nottingham-based Stella Tomlinson, whose 14-year-old daughter is found dead at her home, with the bloodied figure of Charles Stone standing over her. 

Picking up the narrative three years after the tragedy, the show focuses on how the loss has created divisions in Stella’s life. She now lives a nocturnal existence as an Uber driver, and is estranged from her husband Paul, who still lives in the family home. 

When contacted by Restorative Justice, Stella and Paul reunite to listen to a taped recording of Charles, who they think wants to atone for his sins. Stella decides to visit the prison to come face-to-face with her daughter’s killer. But nothing could prepare her for what Charles has to say next…

ITV has shared a first look at Vicky as Stella. It doesn’t give much away, but shows the star wearing a beanie hat and looking in a rearview mirror, presumably while driving her Uber.

As well as Vicky, Without Sin will also feature Johnny Harris as Charles. You may remember Johnny from The Salisbury Poisonings.

Also in the show will be Dorothy Atkinson, Michael Kavanagh, and Grant Crookes, amongst others.

Filming for the new series has already wrapped. Back in January, Vicky shared photos on her social media pages of herself on set, wearing the same beanie. She said she was “Blessed once again to have a team as dedicated, talented, fun and caring as ever." 

The big question, of course, is when and where can we see Without Sin? Well, whilst we know it will be on ITVX, and it is expected to be released this Autumn, an exact date has yet to be announced.

Hopefully we’ll find out soon so we can mark the dates in our diaries, because we can’t wait for this one!
