After the Flood preview

The much-anticipated murder mystery After The Flood is an ITV drama that rivaled Line Of Duty for edge-of-the-seat intrigue.

Peaky Blinders and Happy Valley star Sophie Rundle took the lead role as PC Joanna Marshall, given the task of investigating the death of a man during a catastrophic flood in a quiet Yorkshire town.

After cops find the man's body in a lift in an underground car park, it's initially assumed that he drowned in the high water, but Marshall soon discovers that there's more to the death than first presumed.

While the drama centered on the unfolding investigation, the show also explored the impact of climate change on the lives of residents in the small town.

Alongside Rundle, the series also boasted The Crown’s Nicholas Gleaves as Sgt Phil Mackie and Life On Mars’ star Philip Glenister as property developer Jack. Lorraine Ashbourne meanwhile plays PC Marshall's mum, while Jacqueline Boatswain took the role of local politician Sarah Mackie.
