🆕️| Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes will lead the cast of new ITV drama Stonehouse.
The three-part series will tell the life and times of disgraced Labour minister John Stonehouse .
It relates how Stonehouse, a high-flying member of Harold Wilson’s Government, vanished from the beach of a large luxury hotel in Florida in November 1974, leaving a neatly folded pile of clothes as he swam into the sea, intent on faking his own death.
The show will be written by acclaimed writer John Preston and directed by BAFTA-nominated Jon S. Baird (Stan & Ollie, Vinyl, Filth) with BAFTA award-winning and Emmy-nominated Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Quiz) in the leading role and co-starring Keeley Hawes.
