Platform 7 episode 1 cast: Who stars in the ITV drama?
Platform 7 starts on ITV tonight, May 26, and the four-part drama is based on the novel of the same name by Louise Doughty. The series follows a ghost who is trapped on a station platform where she died, unable to pass across to the next world.
Lisa is left with no memory of how she died until she witnesses a suicide on the same platform. This traumatic event triggers the return of her memories in small fragments.
A transport police officer takes a particular interest in her case and Lisa gets ever closer to understanding what really happened to her. The series was initially released on ITVX on December 7.
The show received mixed reviews when it first aired but there is hope it will find a new fanbase on linear TV.
Here is all you need to know about who is in the cast.
