Keeley Hawes’ drama Finding Alice is getting a new streaming home in the UK.

The production narrates the tale of a woman who experiences an unexpected tragedy when her husband meets his untimely demise after falling down the staircase.

Following his passing, she discovers that he has been hiding some dark secrets.

In addition to Hawes, the show boasts the talents of Nigel Havers from “Coronation Street”, Gemma Jones known for her role in “Bridget Jones”, Joanna Lumley famed from “Absolutely Fabulous”, and Jason Merrells hailing from “Waterloo Road”.

Although some might expect “Finding Alice” to be a murder mystery, as stated by its director and co-writer, Roger Golby, during its premiere Q&A session (as reported by Radio Times), it turns out that it’s not.

“It isn’t a whodunnit, it’s Alice’s story through grief,” he said. “And I guess we needed story.

Sudden or unexpected deaths inevitably stir shock, uncover hidden truths, and create chaos – these elements emerged quite spontaneously from such a situation.

In the early part of this year, Hawes made an appearance in the fresh BBC production titled “Miss Austen“. In this role, she portrayed Cassandra Austen, Jane’s less famed elder sister.

At Digital Spy, we expressed that while “Miss Austen” may not be flawless, it carries a genuine warmth. As for Hawes’ portrayal, we noted it as one of his more restrained performances, making the character seem real and solid, mirroring the realistic tone of the narrative itself.

As I eagerly look forward, I find myself set to star in the gripping thriller series, “The Assassin,” premiering shortly. Additionally, I’m thrilled to be lending my voice as the narrator for the Sky Nature documentary titled “Airborne.

Finding Alice can be streamed now on ITVX and will be coming to Netflix on 1 August.

The latest issue of Digital Spy’s print edition has arrived! You can grab a copy of “Oasis – Live in ’25” from your local newsstand or buy it online for only £8.99.
