Meet the cast of Platform 7 on ITVX and ITV1
Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson leads the cast of this ITV thriller.
After intriguing viewers on ITVX towards the end of last year, Platform 7 is now arriving on televisions across the UK - as it begins on ITV1 tonight (Monday 26th August).
Led by Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson, the series follows her character, Lisa, who witnesses a major event on platform seven of a railway station.
We follow her as she has to use her limited memory to try and make a connection between what she has witnessed and her own life.
It's safe to say that this isn't your typical drama, as it blends supernatural elements with a lot of realism.
While it didn't debut to the best of reviews when it arrived on streaming, perhaps it could win over new terrestrial audiences following ITV's recent successes such as Red Eye and Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
As well as Jobson leading the cast as Lisa, the line-up boasts some other familiar faces, including Toby Regbo (A Discovery of Witches), Yaamin Chowdhury (The Lazarus Project) and more.
It's also brought to the screen by director Geoffrey Sax, the BAFTA-winning mind behind the likes of The New Statesman and the Keeley Hawes-led Tipping the Velvet.
But alongside Jobson, who else does Sax direct in this series? Read on for everything you need to know about the Platform 7 cast.

It's safe to say Jobson is very much the star of the show, with Louise Doughty, writer of the novel on which the series is based, saying: "I was completely thrilled to bits when we got Jasmine Jobson for the lead role of Lisa.
"I'm a big fan of Top Boy, I've watched it since the very first series, and I think what she brings to Platform 7 is something that's so necessary, which is that you feel that Lisa is an active participant in her own drama, even when she's a ghost."
