If you've been left at a loss after that bombshell ending to The Capture, fear not, because another gripping drama is set to start tonight, this time on Channel 5.
The channel's latest original TV drama takes the form of a four-part thriller and kicks off tonight (Monday, 13 April) at 9pm. It was created by Samuel Kissous and Matthew Thomas, Thomas also acting as a scriptwriter alongside Sally Abbott and Paul Matthew Thompson.
Titled Missed Call, the series centres around British teenager Katie Gleason who's off on a school exchange in southern France. Her single mum, Sarah, gets a missed call from her daughter and shortly after, Katie stops replying completely.
Sarah immediately rushes to Saint-Michel in a bid to find her, but what will she find when she's met with Katie's host family and the authorities? And what will she unravel along the way in a bid to find her daughter and safely return her home?
And if that hasn't already got your nibbling your nails in anticipation, the cast features a stellar line-up from some other much-loved dramas, including a star of Slow Horses and Sherwood too.
But who can you expect to see on your screen when you tune in later this evening? Here's the full cast, including the actors and where you'll know them from.
