Holding is ITV’s brand new murder mystery that is set in a quaint Irish village.
In the series, Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill plays Sergeant PJ Collins, a kindly man who enjoys comfort food and half-hearted police work.
However, his life is turned upside down when he is put in charge of investigating the murder of a long-lost local legend, forcing him to connect to the community that he usually tries to avoid.
This four-part drama is an adaptation of Graham Norton’s bestselling novel Holding, which was released back in 2016.
The show is directed by Kathy Burke, written by Dominic Treadwell-Collins and Karen Cogan, and produced by Happy Prince and Port Pictures.
After each episode has aired, they will be available on the ITV Hub.
