ITV has announced a new mystery drama, After the Flood, starring Happy Valley star Sophie Rundle and Sherwood actress Lorraine Ashbourne.

Here’s everything you need to know about After the Flood…
What is After the Flood about?
After the Flood follows PC Joanna Marshall, who becomes obsessed with solving what happened to an unidentified man who is found dead in a lift after a devastating flood.
While police assume the man became trapped as the water rose, Joanna questions how he got into the lift and why nobody knows who he is.
The flood threatens to expose secrets and put fortunes and reputations at risk in the small town it happens in. But how far will people go to protect themselves?
ITV teases: “The mystery unfolds across the series while we also see the real impact of climate change on the lives of residents in this small town.
