Until I Kill You release date confirmed for Anna Maxwell Martin and Shaun Evans true crime drama
The true crime series will air across four nights on ITV.
The release date for ITV's new true crime drama, Until I Kill You, has been confirmed.
Starring Anna Maxwell Martin (Ludwig) and Shaun Evans (Endeavour), the series tells the true story of Delia Balmer, who survived a near-fatal relationship.
The series, which is based on Balmer's book Living with a Serial Killer, will air over four consecutive nights from Sunday 3rd November to Wednesday 6th November at 9pm on ITV1.
The trailer for the series was released earlier this month, showing Martin's Delia meeting Evans's John and her later telling the police that the truth is "staring" them in the face.

The official synopsis for the four-parter reads: "In 1991, Delia leads an itinerant and solitary life in London working as an agency nurse. When she meets fellow free-spirit John Sweeney in a local pub, it seems like the connection she has been searching for.
"As the relationship develops, Sweeney's artistic, anti-establishment persona gives way to a darker side, culminating in a series of violent attacks on Delia, during which he tells her he killed his former girlfriend and disposed of her body in an Amsterdam canal.
"Sweeney is arrested but, due to a catastrophic failure by the court to realise how dangerous he is, granted bail. He immediately pursues Delia and subjects her to a horrific, near-fatal attack. She survives, but Sweeney evades capture and disappears.
Sarah Parish, Mandip Gill and Alexandra Burke star in the gripping drama – and for a limited time, you can watch episode 1 on our website.
"Shattered by the trauma and injuries inflicted by Sweeney, Delia bravely seeks to rebuild her life. But Sweeney returns seven years later and is arrested for the murder of another girlfriend in North London. Delia's fragile recovery is shattered all over again as she has to face Sweeney in open court, her testimony vital to the prosecution case against him.
"This is the story of one woman's astonishing will to survive through physical and emotional torment, despite the failings of the institutions which were meant to protect her."
