Without Sin: ITVX release date, trailer, and cast with Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris

Without Sin, a new four-part psychological thriller, will arrive on ITVX on Thursday 28 December.

The series, which is set to star Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris, follows the relationship between a grieving mother and the man she believes killed her daughter.

Here’s everything you need to know about Without Sin.

What’s it about?

Without Sin is a four-part psychological drama about a woman called Stella Tomlinson, whose teenage daughter was murdered three years prior. Estranged from friends and family and still grieving, she starts to meet with the man that killed her daughter – who reaches out to offer an apology.

The official ITVX synopsis for Without Sin goes on to explain that “wracked with guilt and remorse at the events of that night, she chooses to live a nocturnal existence as an Uber driver. She is estranged from husband Paul, who still lives in the family home. When contacted by Restorative Justice, and in an attempt to move on, Stella and Paul reunite to listen to a taped recording of Charles, who they believe wants to atone for his sins and apologise for murdering their daughter.”

“Stella agrees to visit the prison alongside a Restorative Justice Mediator and come face to face with her daughter’s killer. But nothing could prepare her for what Charles has to say next…”
