The tense thriller 'The Widow', starring Kate Beckinsale, is now available to stream for free on ITVX. The series originally aired on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 and has been praised by viewers as 'phenomenal' and 'nail-biting'.
The show follows Beckinsale's character Georgia Wells, who believes her husband died in a plane crash. Three years later, she spots him in a news report from the Democratic Republic of Congo and travels to Kinshasa to uncover the truth. The synopsis describes it as 'a gripping drama' about a woman forced to seek the truth about the man she loved.
The cast includes Charles Dance, Alex Kingston, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Matthew Le Nevez, and Louise Brealey. Filmed partly in South Africa, Beckinsale revealed she fainted on set due to extreme heat.
Viewers have been hooked, with one saying they were 'glued to this show' and another calling it 'thrilling and entertaining'. Despite fan requests for a second season, writers Harry and Jack Williams have confirmed there are no plans for more, describing it as 'a one-off' and 'like a movie'.
