What Happened
BritBox has secured the streaming rights for the upcoming psychological thriller series ‘Gone’, created by George Kay, known for works like ‘Hijack’ and ‘Lupin’. The deal was announced during the London TV Screenings week and covers the U.S. and Canada. The six-part series, featuring David Morrissey and Eve Myles, is set to premiere in the U.K. on ITV this spring.

The series explores themes of trauma and trust, centering on the mysterious disappearance of Sarah Polly and the ensuing psychological tension between her husband and a detective.
