The Suspect release date, cast and what to expect from new ITV thriller

ITV' s latest thriller, The Suspect, is hitting our screens later this month.

The new five-part series, arriving in August, revolves around a clinical psychologist brought in to assist on a case that could be murder or suicide.

However, his true motivations come under question as the case unfolds and signs of a dark secret looms.

The unnerving series that is based on a novel, also called The Suspect, has an exciting cast line-up with Aidan Turner at the helm, alongside stars from Vigil and Fleabag also appearing.

Here is everything you need to know before ITV's latest thriller arrives.

When is The Suspect on TV?

The Suspect airs on ITV from Monday August 29 at 9pm.

The show is set to be on ITV's main channel as well as being available to stream on the ITV Hub immediately after.

No announcements have been made as to whether all episodes will be available.

With the thriller set to be released this month, we shouldn't have to wait too long before all is revealed.

What is The Suspect about?

The show follows Doctor Joe O'Loughlin, who appears to have the perfect life having recently gone viral after rescuing a young patient who was ready to jump from the 10th floor of the hospital where Joe works.

When a young woman is found in dead in West London cemetery, questions are raised over whether it was murder or suicide. As a successful author, Dr Joe's opinion is much sought after, and he's only too willing to offer help with profiling and his expertise.

Now known for his risk-taking and rule-breaking, questions of Joe's methods and motivations are asked.

The Suspect cast

Anjli Mohindra from The Lazarus Project is also set to star in The Suspect (ITV)

Taking to the screen in this psychological thriller alongside Aidan Turner is Shaun Parkes, best known for his role in Small Axe with John Boyega.

There's also Anjli Mohindra, who recently played a leading role in SKY's new exciting thriller, The Lazarus Project.

Camilla Beeput of Peep Show and Harry Hill The Movie is also added to the line-up, playing a more serious role. Beeput also starred in Sky's TV mini-series, Save Me.

And Sian Clifford, star of the critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning show Fleabag, in which she played Phoebe Waller-Bridge 's sister, is also part of the cast.

Sian is also set to be in the next series of His Dark Materials, which is set to return to the BBC before the end of the year.

The Suspect will air on ITV in August, until then we all await its release date in anticipation.
