After years of making hard-hitting documentaries, Ross Kemp, aka EastEnders' Grant Mitchell, is returning to acting in a new four-part Channel 5 thriller.

Blindspot sees Kemp star as Tony Warden, a detective tasked with unknotting the tangled case of a missing woman, with newcomer Beth Alsbury playing the disabled woman, Hannah Quinn, who alerts him to the disappearance. By day Hannah monitors the CCTV on a rough estate, and after she witnesses a known violent criminal lead the victim into a blind spot, she suspects murder.

But Tony is suspiciously dismissive of her theory, which means Beth will have to fight to reveal the truth.

The Effects of Lying

Thursday

ITVX

A new dysfunctional family drama starring Ace Bhatti as a dutiful husband and father whose life crumbles over the course of just one day.

Naveen discovers that his wife Sangeeta (Lauren Patel) is sleeping with his brother (Navin Chowdhry), his dad is threatening to commit suicide at his care home and his daughter Simran (Lauren Patel) is struggling with an eating disorder. As such long-festering secrets are exposed, it's unclear whether the family will ever be able to recover.

Then You Run

Friday

Sky Max

Zoran Drvenkar's thrilling novel You is brought to Sky Max for an eight-part series.

Lea McNamara, Vivian Oparah, Yasmin Monet Prince and Isidora Fairhurst star as the tight-knit bunch of rebellious London teens, who are on holiday in Rotterdam when they discover that Tara's (McNamara) estranged father has died. Meanwhile, they meet her menacing uncle Reagan who runs an incredibly lucrative "courier business" (read: drug dealing), and the girls soon find themselves on the run across Europe with three kilos of heroin, and a gang of ruthless criminals in their wake.

The Traitors Australia

Sunday

BBC Three

The televised game of Mafia that had us all hooked in 2022 goes Down Under.

Aussie actor Rodger Corser takes on Claudia Winkleman's mantle, hosting the Traitors and Faithfuls at The Robertson Hotel in New South Wales—notably not the now iconic Scottish Ardross Castle used for the UK and US versions. The rules, meanwhile, are the same as the UK's, with 24 civilians (no celebs) entering the pressure cooker of deception and murder.
