ITV’s Winter set for September 30 launch on ITV1 and ITVX

ITV’s six-part crime drama Winter is scheduled to begin on ITV1 on September 30, with its full series available on ITVX from launch. The Bristol-set programme stars Richard Armitage as forensic pathologist Dr Ethan Winter and Annabel Scholey as detective inspector Lauren Bell. The first episode is listed for 9 p.m. on ITV1, while subsequent episodes are scheduled weekly. The series pairs Winter’s work examining evidence from murder victims with Bell’s police investigations. Jamie Kenna plays detective sergeant Ellis Daldry, who works with them on cases. Each episode is described as featuring a separate crime, while a continuing storyline follows Winter’s personal search connected to the death of Simone, his murdered fiancée. The episode summaries outline a range of investigations, beginning with the discovery of a frozen body in Bristol. Later cases include a faceless body found at a demolition site, a double murder and human remains that prompt further inquiries. The final episode’s synopsis describes a woodland car crash that conceals a crime and a development in the continuing case linked to Simone’s death.
