Sunday at 5: 00 p. m. ET, ITV’s new six-part psychological crime thriller Gone begins its U. K. run at 9: 00 p. m. GMT, led by Eve Myles and David Morrissey. The gone tv series launches with fanfare, yet its U. S. availability remains unconfirmed; that status will change only when platform release dates are formally announced.
ITV premiere details and Annie Cassidy–Michael Polly dynamic confirmed
ITV confirms Gone as a six-part psychological crime drama centered on Detective Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles) and headmaster Michael Polly (David Morrissey). Episode one airs Sunday, March 8 at 9: 00 p. m. GMT (5: 00 p. m. ET). Episode two is scheduled for Monday, March 9 in the U. K., with the series set to continue weekly on Sundays and Mondays.
The network describes Cassidy as a bright, rule-bending detective with an unwavering sense of justice, while Polly is presented as an emotionally restrained school leader whose order and precision face scrutiny after his wife’s disappearance. This confirmed character framing establishes a cat-and-mouse pursuit that drives the initial tension of the story from the first broadcast hour.
All episodes are confirmed to be available as a complete box set on ITVX for U. K. viewers from the outset. That immediate availability creates two parallel viewing tracks: a weekly linear cadence on ITV and an on-demand option for those who prefer to watch the full narrative arc without delay.
Beyond its central mystery, producers emphasize a thematic focus on trauma, trust, and the legacy of elite institutions. Series creator George Kay cites real-life research as inspiration, signaling a tone that leans into psychological nuance rather than standard procedural beats across all six episodes.
U. S. and international release for Gone Tv Series still to be dated
As of 5: 00 p. m. ET Sunday, U. S. streaming for Gone on BritBox is unconfirmed. Canada’s BritBox rollout and Australia’s Stan release are also unconfirmed at this time. These listings are acknowledged by the platforms but do not carry a calendar date yet, leaving North American and Australian audiences without a concrete start window.
This uncertainty matters for stateside viewers tracking the gone tv series because early buzz and U. K. word-of-mouth could shape interest before a U. S. premiere lands. Until the platforms set their schedules, there is no verified U. S. date, no confirmed episode drop pattern, and no indication whether releases will be weekly or box-set style outside the U. K.
If and when BritBox issues a U. S. date, that single update will immediately clarify three specifics: the first-day availability, the release cadence (weekly versus full-season), and whether regional catalogs mirror the U. K. box-set model. For now, all three remain unconfirmed.
Bristol locations and Bottle Yard Studios shape the series’ tone
Filmed and set in Bristol and the South West, Gone places its mystery against a backdrop that includes a prestigious private school, a foreboding forest, and the city’s quieter sprawl. Cast and production details confirm extensive work at Bottle Yard Studios, alongside on-location scenes at a school shot during the Easter holidays, anchoring the show’s visual identity in recognizable regional settings.
Eve Myles and David Morrissey underscore the story’s atmosphere by highlighting how the investigation navigates a world with its own rules and legacy. That setting is positioned as integral to the narrative, amplifying themes of power, reputation, and institutional pressure that surface as Annie Cassidy probes Michael Polly’s life after his wife Sarah vanishes.
The creative team points to non-fiction influences: the book To Hunt a Killer and the experience of former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay and crime correspondent Robert Murphy, who serve as consultants. While Gone is fictional, this advisory role is a confirmed part of the production’s foundation and signals the procedural rigor the drama aims to project on screen.
What remains fixed today is the viewing path for U. K. audiences: episode one at 9: 00 p. m. GMT (5: 00 p. m. ET), episode two on Monday, March 9, and a continuing Sunday–Monday broadcast pattern, with the full season simultaneously viewable on ITVX. Outside the U. K., the absence of firm dates keeps the rollout picture incomplete.
The next scheduled milestone is episode two’s U. K. broadcast on Monday, March 9. If a U. S. streaming date is confirmed, episodes are expected to become available on BritBox on that stated date.
