ITV Unveils Six-Part Drama 'Adultery' Filmed in Manchester

ITV is preparing to release a new six-part drama series titled "Adultery," created by BAFTA-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst, known for adapting Harlan Coben's novels such as "Fool Me Once." The drama centers on Tom, a married father, and his 15-year-old daughter Jess, whose romantic relationship with her classmate Ollie becomes complicated when Tom unexpectedly meets Ollie's mother Beth, leading to an intense and passionate affair between Tom and Beth that threatens to upend both families' lives. The series explores themes of class, grief, social media, passion, and parenthood, promising a rollercoaster of emotions and messy complications. Filming is currently underway in and around Manchester, with Dominic Cooper starring as Tom and Romola Garai as Beth. ITV emphasizes the show's authenticity and the emotional highs and lows of love and desire, aiming to deliver the thrilling twists and psychological depth familiar to fans of Coben's work. This new drama is expected to appeal strongly to viewers who enjoyed Brocklehurst's previous collaborations with Coben, including "Fool Me Once," "Stay Close," and "The Stranger."
