Everything we know about Angela Black, ITV’s new thriller starring Joanne Froggatt.
Joanne Froggatt is returning to our screens in Angela Black – a brand new ITV drama written by Harry and Jack Williams (Baptiste, The Missing, Liar).
A Hitchcockian thriller starring The Flight Attendant‘s Michiel Huisman and The Hatton Garden Job’s Samuel Adewunmi, Angela Black sees Downton Abbey’s Froggatt take on the titular role – a woman who risks her seemingly idyllic life to fight back against her controlling, abusive husband.
While ITV has not yet revealed a huge deal about the upcoming drama, the broadcaster recently published two first-look images showing Froggatt, Huisman and Adewunmi as their characters.
Here’s everything we know so far about Angela Black and when it’ll be premiering on ITV.
Angela Black release date
As soon as there’s an air date for the six-part series, we’ll be sure to update this page.
Filming commenced in London in October 2020, so fingers crossed it won’t be too long to wait.

From the outside, Angela’s life is one to envy. She has a beautiful house, a handsome, hard-working husband (Olivier) and two wonderful sons, and spends her days volunteering at a dogs’ home.
Behind closed doors, however, lies a different, much darker story: Angela has been a victim of domestic abuse for years and can see no way out of her tormented marriage.
That is, until a private investigator named Ed approaches her out of the blue with some shocking truths about her husband; information that leaves her reeling. In an instant, her life changes: but can she really trust Ed? Can she leave behind life as she knows it? And can Angela finally free herself from Olivier?
Angela Black cast
After keeping fans utterly gripped in Liar, Joanne Froggatt is back for another dose of mind-bending drama as Angela Black’s lead character.
Speaking about her involvement in the project, she said: “I am honoured to be working with Two Brothers Pictures again and this important and timely story from the brilliant Harry and Jack Williams is like nothing I’ve read before.
“Angela is a complex and intriguing character and I hope audiences will be immediately drawn into her gripping, and sometimes heart-breaking journey, just as I was.”
Michiel Huisman stars as Angela’s abusive husband, Olivier – though you may recognise him from Game of Thrones and his recent role as slain businessman Alex in The Flight Attendant. On his excitement to take on this more sinister role, Huisman commented: “I’m proud to be part of such a thrilling and clever story with so many twists and turns.”
Samuel Adewunmi (The Hatton Garden Job, The Last Tree) plays private investigator Ed, a character he describes as one he “always finds [himself] drawn to”.
