ITV true-crime drama with Anna Maxwell Martin and Shaun Evans shares first-look trailer

As a true crime enthusiast with an affinity for gripping dramas that delve deep into the human psyche, I am genuinely intrigued by the upcoming ITV series, “Until I Kill You.” The trailer alone has piqued my interest, promising a harrowing journey that mirrors the real-life experiences of Delia Balmer.


The first trailer for ITV true crime drama Until I Kill You has been released.

The four-part narrative unfolds around the actual events involving Delia Balmer, portrayed by Anna Maxwell Martin, and her harrowing ordeal pursuing notorious killer John Sweeney, played by Shaun Evans. The story chronicles her tumultuous quest for justice.

The trailer depicts the storyline where Balmer encounters John, but events take a sinister twist when she observes his actions growing more and more unsettling.

In simpler terms, after Sweeney admits to murdering his ex-girlfriend, Balmer takes the matter to the police. However, both he and the court hear about “the night she was nearly killed” by Sweeney during the trial. This indicates that the trial is revealing details about a violent incident in her past.

“Why is the world allowed to treat people like this?” she later asks.

This drama, derived from Balmer’s book titled “Living with a Serial Killer,” narrates the story of Balmer who encounters the enigmatic character Sweeney in 1991. It seems that Balmer has finally found the bond she had long been seeking.

As I delve deeper into this game, I gradually uncover his hidden nature. It all reaches its peak when he launches a brutal assault on Delia, confessing to me that he murdered his ex-girlfriend and dumped her remains in the Amsterdam canal.

Following my arrest, I was surprisingly released on bail due to an unbelievable oversight by the court, failing to grasp the extent of my potential danger. With newfound freedom, I relentlessly pursued Delia and subjected her to an unspeakably horrific, nearly lethal assault.

Although the police were unable to catch Sweeney, Balmer persevered and worked on rebuilding her life. Meanwhile, Sweeney eluded capture and vanished from sight.

Seven years after Sweeney’s disappearance, he reappears and is apprehended for the murder of yet another girlfriend in North London, the summary continues.

Delia’s delicate progress towards healing is once more disrupted, for she must confront Sweeney publicly in a court of law. Her testimony carries significant weight for the prosecution’s case against him.

“This narrative recounts an extraordinary woman’s determination to endure hardships, both physical and emotional, in spite of the shortcomings of the systems supposedly designed to safeguard her.

Until I Kill You is written by Nick Stevens and aired in New Zealand and Canada earlier this year.

Until I Kill You is yet to confirm a release date on ITV1 and ITVX.
