If ITV knows one thing, it's how to do a psychological thriller, and do it well. From Broadchurch to Trigger Point, they always keep us hooked from start to finish. This time it's Gone, a drama following Michael Polly, a local headmaster who quickly emerges as the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s sudden disappearance.
Two episodes in and we've got a mountain search and a shock arrest, so the plot is well and truly thickening.
Led by a stellar cast including David Morrissey and Eve Myles, this is not one to miss. Gone has quite an unusual weekly schedule, so stay tuned for the full release dates so you don't miss a single moment — or clue — in this drama.
What is Gone about?
The six-part drama centres on the disappearance of Sarah Polly, a woman whose sudden vanishing sends shockwaves through the quiet, leafy outskirts of Bristol. It isn’t long before suspicion falls on her husband, Michael Polly (David Morrissey), a respected private school headteacher who quickly becomes the key suspect in the investigation.
Leading the case is DS Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles), a perceptive and determined detective who begins to chip away at Michael’s carefully controlled façade as the mystery deepens.
As the investigation unfolds, Michael’s family, colleagues and even his pupils find themselves drawn into the case. As tensions rise, loyalties begin to fracture, and long-held secrets start to surface.
It's about “the strength and passion of motherhood…”
Who is in the cast of Gone?
There's a stellar cast for Gone, and you'll likely spot a few familiar faces in the mix.
Leading the charge is Eve Myles as the determined detective heading up the case. You might recognise Myles from roles in The Guest, Broadchurch and Coldwater, where she proved her talent for complex, emotionally driven characters.
David Morrissey stars as Michael Polly, the husband of the missing woman at the centre of the investigation. Morrissey is well known for his roles in Sherwood, The Walking Dead and Britannia.
Playing his daughter, Alana Polly, is Emma Appleton, who portrays a young woman caught between loyalty to her father and the growing doubts surrounding him. Appleton previously appeared in Everything I Know About Love, Pistol and The Witcher.
Jennifer Macbeth appears as DS Becky Hammond, a trusted colleague working alongside the lead investigators on the case. Macbeth has previously starred in Maternal and Grace.
Finally, Dylan Sedgwick takes on the role of Billy Barratt, a troubled student whose connection to the case begins to raise eyebrows. Sedgwick is known for his work in Invasion and Bring Her Back.
Rounding out the cast are Arthur Hughes as DI Ivan Pemberley, Peter McDonald as DI Craig Stanhope, Claire Higgins as Carol Bradley, Rupert Evans as Rory Bowman, Nicholas Nunn as Paul Whitechurch, and Eleanor Fanyinka as Rebecca Hannah.
