Exciting news for fans of psychological thrillers! The highly anticipated new ITV drama, Red Eye, is finally here, starring Jing Lusi and Richard Armitage. Alongside them are talented actors Jemma Moore and Lesley Sharp, making for a star-studded cast that has already caught the attention of fans and critics alike.
Richard Armitage, who plays the lead role of Dr. Matthew Nolan, recently spoke to The Agency about the series, revealing his initial doubts about the script and how it exceeded his expectations. "When I first read the script, I was hoping it would go in a certain direction, but I feared it might be too costly to produce. But to my surprise, it goes beyond what I could have imagined, delving into areas like politics which really excited me," he shared.
ITV head of drama, Polly Hill, also expressed her excitement for the show, describing it as a "brilliantly addictive thriller with an international story" that takes place on a red eye flight from London to Beijing. She credited writer Peter A Dowling for his captivating scripts that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Speaking of Dowling, he is no stranger to the thriller genre, having written the 2005 film Flightplan starring Jodie Foster. He has described Red Eye as "an Agatha Christie-type murder mystery on a plane," which only adds to the intrigue surrounding the show.
So, what exactly is Red Eye about? The series follows Dr. Nolan, who is accused of murder and being extradited back to Beijing. On the plane, he is accompanied by officer Hana Li, played by Jing Lusi, who is not happy about the assignment. However, as the flight progresses, they uncover a suspicious plot and must work together to unravel the mystery.
The star-studded cast also includes Jemma Moore as journalist Jess Li and Lesley Sharp as MI5's Madeline Delaney, both getting caught up in the conspiracy as the drama unfolds. Viewers may recognize Moore from her role in the hit film Crazy Rich Asians, while Sharp is a well-known British actress with an impressive list of credits.
For fans eager to tune in, the six-part series premieres on April 21 at 9pm on ITV. And the best part? All six episodes will be available to binge-watch immediately after the premiere, so get ready for a thrilling ride.
