What is The Sister about?
The series is written by Luther creator, Neil Cross.
Inspiration for the drama is taken from Cross' novel, Burial, and tells the story of a man who tries hard to put his secret past behind him.
His life is turned upside down when a decade after he is married and settled into his new role as a husband, a face from his past called Bob arrives to haunt him.
Shocking news delivered by Bob to Nathan triggers a series of events and decisions which sets a theme of love, redemption, suspense and dread.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Russell Tovey, 38, said: "When Neil was young and growing up in Bristol he used to drink and go out with friends.
"One evening, coming home, he saw a tramp in the woods and in the fug of booze and, unsure of time and place, he vividly remembered stabbing him to death.
"He then woke up the next day totally convinced it had happened but also totally sure it hadn’t – he searched newspapers and, when the internet began, searched for a similar crime but found nothing – but it terrified him and this feeling he has channelled into the reality of Nathan in The Sister – huge anxiety and fear and not believing/believing.”
Neil Cross said: "Nathan, Bob and Holly have been with me for many years. I couldn’t be more excited to see them brought to life by Russell Tovey, Bertie Carvel and Amrita Acharia"
The series is produced by Jonathan Curling, whose previous work includes Tin Star and Baghdad Central.
Niall MacCormick of The Victim and Doctor Thorne directed the series.
How many episodes are there?

Lead actor Russell Tovey said: “The Sister is going to challenge me as an actor more than I’ve ever been challenged before.
“As a web of lies, that he thought was dead and buried, comes back to haunt Nathan, he sinks deeper and deeper into the horror of the event that happened ten years ago.”
