ITV has released details of its new six-part crime drama, "The Dark," which stars Outlander actress Laura Donnelly. Multiple outlets describe the programme as a compelling thriller and highlight that its visual style plays a major role in the story’s tone. The Manchester Evening News reports that the show’s locations are important to the drama, contributing significantly to the atmosphere and tension. The Mirror similarly characterises the series as having a notably dark tone, describing the world of the show as “ridiculously dark.” Both sources present the series as a fresh ITV crime drama designed to draw viewers in through its setting and mood, with Donnelly leading the cast. The coverage does not provide additional plot specifics, broadcast date information, or character details, but it consistently frames "The Dark" as a six-part ITV thriller led by Donnelly, with emphasis on the significance of its darker tone and locations to the overall viewing experience.
