ITV's new six-part psychological thriller Red Eye has captivated audiences since its premiere on April 21. The series stars Richard Armitage, Jing Lusi, Jemma Moore, and Lesley Sharp in a tense conspiracy set on a red-eye flight from Heathrow to Beijing.
Armitage plays Dr Matthew Nolan, accused of murder in China and extradited mid-flight by officer Hana Li (Lusi). Despite initial animosity, the pair must collaborate when suspicious events unfold. The actor told Metro.co.uk: 'It goes bigger than my imagination. It moves outside the plane and into politics.'
ITV head of drama Polly Hill praised the show as 'a brilliantly addictive thriller,' while writer Peter A Dowling, known for Flightplan, describes it as 'an Agatha Christie-type murder mystery on a plane.'
The cast also includes Dan Li, Jonathan Aris, Sarah Toogood, and Lucianne McEvoy. All six episodes are available on ITVX, with weekly broadcasts on ITV1 Sundays at 9pm.
