ITV has commissioned a new drama described as a "gripping psychological thriller" that comes with a supernatural twist.
Platform 7 - adapted from the novel by Louise Doughty - follows Sarah, who witnesses "a cataclysmic event" on platform 7 of a railway station which sends her on a journey to try to understand what has happened.
Paula Milne, who has penned the scripts for the four-part series, said: "This is no traditional 'spooky' ghost story. It's the tale of a ghost on a quest to discover who she was and the events that led to her untimely death.
"Her story is a celebration of indignation versus passivity and truth versus lies.
"While writing it from Louise Doughty's astute and emotionally intelligent novel, I began to feel she's the ghost in all of us; the unseen part of us when we find ourselves reflecting on the wisdom of our past decisions. Sometimes with regret, occasionally with rancour but more often with the complicated relish of what it means to be human."
Platform 7 will premiere first on new streaming service ITVX in 2023, with a linear TX following on ITV several months later.
