ITV Sets True Crime Presents to Replace Secret Service in Tuesday 9pm Slot

The move signals a one-week shift from scripted thriller to true-crime documentary in a key prime-time hour.

Overview

  • Secret Service, which ends Tuesday at 9pm on ITV, hands off its slot to a new factual instalment the following week.
  • ITV confirmed that True Crime Presents will air on Tuesday, May 12, with season two's episode titled A Deadly Betrayal.
  • The episode's official synopsis says a woman sees signs of abuse in a relationship and relatives later confront a tragic outcome.
  • It remains unclear when another major ITV drama will next take over the regular Tuesday 9pm placement after this documentary.
  • The spy series starred Gemma Arterton as an MI6 officer probing whether a senior politician was tied to Russia, and it reached its finale after a tense cliffhanger without revealing key twists.
