Overview
- ITV published the first teaser and official synopsis for Adultery on June 16, 2026, announcing it as a six‑part drama to air on ITV and STV in autumn with streaming on ITVX and STV Player.
- The story follows Tom Kirkman (Dominic Cooper) and Beth Brookes (Romola Garai) as a clandestine relationship threatens to upend their families while their 15‑year‑old daughter and son are romantically linked.
- Shelley Conn and Matthew McNulty play the unaware partners Hannah and Neil, and Leila Khan and Johnny Sanpher portray the teenage couple at the centre of the interlocking family drama.
- Creator Danny Brocklehurst describes the series as a 'provocative love story' that raises questions about class, grief and social media, and executive producer Ben Stephenson called the scripts 'juicy, gripping and complex.'
- The commission builds on Brocklehurst’s serialized‑drama track record and ITV’s push for star‑led prestige series, and viewers should watch for a formal broadcast date and further plot details ahead of the autumn launch.
