ITV Releases Teaser for New Six‑Part Drama Adultery Starring Dominic Cooper and Romola Garai

The trailer signals a prestige autumn series that probes a secret affair and its fallout for two families and their teenage children.

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.
