ITVX has released a selection of first look images from its upcoming drama Archie<\/a>, giving us a peek at Jason Isaacs in character as Cary Grant.<\/p>\n

The series, which will launch on the streamer in November, comes from screenwriter Jeff Pope (Philomena, The Reckoning<\/a>) and dramatises the life of Hollywood star Grant.<\/p>\n

In the images, Isaacs is seen as Grant sat by a pool on the phone, stood with a drink in his hand and sat in what appears to be a luxury villa.<\/p>\n

Grant was born Archibald Alexander Leach in Bristol, 1904, and the series explores his troubled childhood, including how extreme poverty, his father\u2019s adultery and the loss of his older brother, John, tore the family apart.<\/p>\n

The drama will intercut Grant\u2019s life story with scenes from 1961, when he was at the height of his fame, but was desperately unhappy in his private life.<\/p>\n
