ITV has released information, details and images for some of its upcoming dramas throughout the rest of 2026, and amongst those was a first look at Richard Armitage's new series, Winter.
The six-part drama, which will be releasing later in the year, sees Armitage playing a brilliant but unconventional forensic pathologist, Dr Ethan Winter, who can be seen in the first look image (above).
The Red Eye star is joined in the image and the series by Annabel Scholey (Rivals), who plays DI Lauren Bell, a detective who teams up with Ethan.
The synopsis for the series says: "Set in Bristol, the series follows Dr Ethan Winter, one of the most gifted pathologists of his generation, whose analytical ability and instinct for reading victims make him an invaluable asset to murder investigations."

The synopsis continues: "His unorthodox, rule-breaking methods bring him into partnership with DI Lauren Bell, a meticulous and driven detective. Together, they form a formidable team, combining forensic insight with sharp investigative work to solve complex cases.
"Across the six-part series, each episode presents a self-contained crime, while a deeper serial narrative unfolds: Winter is haunted by the unsolved murder of someone close to him and is conducting his own unofficial investigation — a dangerous pursuit that threatens to consume him."
Alongside Armitage and Scholey, additional cast for the series includes Jamie Kenna (House of the Dragon), Carlotta Banat (3 Body Problem), Josh Barrow (Dear England), Adwoa Akoto (The Sandman), Jay Taylor (Manhunt), Rishi Rian (Ridley), Deirdre Mullins (The Couple Next Door), Ellis Elijah (Mammoth) and Evie Coles (The Lady Grace Mysteries).
