'Our House' release date

Our House will start Monday 7 March, 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub. It promises to be one of the best ITV dramas of the year. It's not been revealed yet when it will be released in the US.

Who’s in the cast?

Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey, Shadowplay, War and Peace) and Line of Duty’s Martin Compston star as estranged wife Fi and husband Bram. 

Speaking of his role as Bram, Martin Compston told us: “It's probably the most emotionally draining part I’ve played in a long time. It has taken a lot out of me. The scripts are a gift for an actor. But they go very dark at times and it can put you in a darker frame of mind. Tuppence is cracking though, we both like a laugh. She's been a joy to work with!”

Rupert Penry-Jones (The Drowning, Whitechapel, The Last Weekend) plays Toby, Fi’s new partner.

Talking about his role, Rupert says: “I’m delighted to be stepping into the shoes of the elusive character of Toby in this nail-biting thriller; highlighting how a few innocent wrong turns can spiral into an eventuality no one anticipated. It’s all the more rewarding to be working alongside the brilliantly talented Tuppence Middleton and Martin Compston. This is a TV thriller that will subvert all expectations.”

Tuppence Middleton adds: "What struck me about Our House is its immense relatability; it’s a story where you catch a glimpse of yourself in the characters, and you get the chilling realisation that what happens to Fi could happen to anyone. What a fantastic opportunity to work alongside ITV and the team at Red Planet Pictures to adapt this artfully plotted novel.” 

Additional casting includes Weruche Opia (I May Destroy You) as Fi’s best friend and neighbour Merle, and Buket Komur (Honour) as the mysterious and alluring Wendy.
