ITV has announced a new five-part drama series starring Stephen Graham, which is set to air this October and will expose a shocking real-life story.<\/p>\n

The series, called The Walk-In, will tell the true story of how a Neo-Nazi plan to kill an MP was foiled by an inside man, with Graham (Peaky Blinders<\/a>, Time<\/a>) playing the lead role of activist Matthew Collins. Collins is a reformed Neo-Nazi who now works as a journalist for anti-racism organisation Hope not Hate.<\/p>\n

The drama will follow Collins as he attempts to stop the radicalisation of young white men before it begins by running moles, or walk-ins, to far right organisations. He does this with the goal of gaining inside information about their activities and publishing this online to expose and fracture them.<\/p>\n

Following the 2016 murder of MP Jo Cox, Collins received an email in March 2017 from someone claiming to be a member of a specific far-right group he had struggled to infiltrate, who alerted him to a plan to murder a second MP.<\/p>\n
