Innocent series 1 took the country by storm, and series 2 is on the way.
The ITV drama first debuted in 2018 to rave reviews from viewers.
Three years later and fans are finally getting more episodes.
However, with the story wrapped up, season 2 is a completely new story.
Here’s everything you need to know about series 1 – including spoilers!
What happened in Innocent series 1?
The first season was all about uncovering the real killer of Tara, after husband David was wrongly convicted.
In the end, it was revealed that David’s brother, Phil, was the culprit.
When David was released from his prison after being exonerated, it was his brother who sacrificed everything to help him.
Phil picked his sibling up as soon as he walked free, gave him money and a place to live.
He even ended his relationship over his fight to prove David’s innocence.

But, it turned out, this was all down to a guilty conscience.
Explaining his character’s actions, actor Daniel Ryan said: “Until you are proven innocent you are guilty. And that’s what David is in that village.
“That is everything that Phil has been fighting for, for seven years. And the fight continues – because he wants his brother to get his life back.”
During a heart-to-heart with his brother, Phil eventually exposed the real reason he murdered Tara.
Apparently, he made a pass at her and when she rejected his sexual advances, he attacked her with a hammer.
During the final episode, long-suffering father David was finally reunited with his children after seven years apart.
