Filming on new drama Too Close is now underway, ITV and Snowed-In Productions have confirmed.
The mini-series, starring Emily Watson and Denise Gough, will be shot in London.
Here’s everything we know about it so far.
What is Too Close about?
Too Close focuses on the compelling and dangerous relationship between forensic psychiatrist Dr Emma Robertson (played by Emily Watson) and Connie Mortensen (Denise Gough), who is accused of a heinous crime but insists she can’t remember anything about it.
Dr Robertson isn’t easily shocked, as she has worked with her fair share of high security patients.
We’ve assembled such a talented cast and crew for Clara Salaman’s brilliantly compelling and gripping adaption.
But when she has to assess Connie for trial, the pair become dangerously close.
Connie is able to see Emma’s deepest insecurities – and brutally exploits them. As a result, their sessions turn into a complex psychological game.

Emma, meanwhile, strives to understand Connie, particularly her complicated relationship with beautiful best friend Ness Jones (Thalissa Teixeira). As Emma tries to uncover the truth and find out what triggered Connie’s actions, it seems that her attempts to see justice done may instead destroy her.
