After the trailer for ITV thriller Passenger<\/a> was released earlier this month and set viewers on tenterhooks waiting to see the new series, we now finally know exactly when it is going to air.<\/p>\n

It has been confirmed that the first episode of the thriller, which comes from actor-turned-writer Andrew Buchan, will air on Sunday 24th March at 9pm on ITV1<\/strong>, while episode 2 will air at the same time on Monday 25th March. Future episodes will then air in subsequent weeks.<\/p>\n

The series stars Wunmi Mosaku as former Met Police Detective Riya Ajunwa, who moved five years ago to the fictional small Northern town of Chadder Vale.<\/p>\n

There, she investigates the disappearance of local girl Katie Wells, before she re-appears the following day. However, a series of strange and inexplicable crimes start unfolding, and Riya has to fight to convince the villagers that all is not as it seems.<\/p>\n
