Chatting about what aspects of the new series drew him to sign on to the project, Martin said: "It has some really tough emotional scenes that myself and Tuppence particularly have to go through.

"I hadn't quite seen it like it before. And it's also a successful book. So you know, you've got a sort of inbuilt audience to an extent. For me, it was a page-turner," he told RadioTimes.com.

The four-parter, which is based on a best-selling novel by Louise Candlish, tells the story of Fi Lawson, whose seemingly perfect life starts to fall apart after she returns home one day to find a new couple moving in. With all of her family's possessions nowhere to be seen and no memory of putting the house up for sale, she insists that there has been a huge mistake.

Teasing the upcoming series, Martin explained: "At the heart of it is a relationship drama. It's about the breakdown of a marriage which then sort of morphs into this thriller, which I find really exciting because when I started reading it I got really wrapped up in the marriage of Bram and Fi and his breakdown, but then - it's hard to say without giving away spoilers - it just goes wild... it goes to places you really don't expect."

Starring alongside Martin and Tuppence in the series are's Weruche Opia as Fi’s best friend and neighbour Merle, as well as star Buket Komur as the mysterious Wendy. 

will premiere on Monday 7 March at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
