We’ve got all the details here…
What is The Walk-In about? Is it based on a true story?
The Walk-In is a true story of how a Neo-Nazi plan to kill an MP was stopped by an inside man.
It follows a reformed Neo-Nazi, Matthew Collins, who turns his life around and works as a journalist for the anti-racist organisation Hope not Hate.
Matthew recognises a new Far Right Neo-Nazi group marketing itself with a youthful and clean-cut image – who are really hell-bent on creating a race war.
Matthew sends in moles to infiltrate the group with the goal of exposing and ruining them online, but when the horrific murder of MP Jo Cox takes place, the group becomes the first Far Right group to be banned in Britain since the Second World War.
When the group goes underground, Matthew Collins one day receives an email from someone claiming to be a member. And they’re prepared to be a mole to talk about the planned second murder of an MP.
ITV promises it will be a “thought-provoking and conscience-stirring drama”.
