It's that time of year where gripping dramas and thrillers fill our schedules, and ITVX's latest offering, Platform 7, slots rather nicely into that category.

The new series, led by Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson, follows her character, Lisa, who witnesses a major event on platform seven of a railway station.

We follow her as she has to use her limited memory to try and make a connection between what she has witnessed and her own life.

It's safe to say that this isn't your typical drama, as it blends supernatural elements with a lot of realism.

As well as Jobson leading the cast as Lisa, the line-up also boasts some other familiar faces, including Toby Regbo (A Discovery of Witches), Yaamin Chowdhury (The Lazarus Project) and more.
