ITV1 Redemption start time, cast list, filming locations and how many episodes

Redemption is the latest crime drama from ITV. The six-part series, from the producers of The Bay and Grace, starts on ITV1 and ITVX on Friday, March 17 at 9pm.

Acclaimed actress Paula Malcomson (The Hunger Games trilogy, Ray Donovan, Deadwood) takes the lead role in Redemption, alongside Keith McErlean (Kin, Modern Love, Cold Courage, Vikings and Trial of the Century) as Patrick Fannon.

A synopsis for the drama reads: "Liverpool-based DI Colette Cunningham learns that her estranged daughter Kate has taken her own life. Kate disappeared without a trace when she was 17 and had been living in Dublin for the last 20 years as Stacey Lockley.

"Colette is suddenly thrown into Stacey’s life having been named guardian of her teenagers, Cara and Liam. Joining the Dublin Central police service, Colette adjusts to life in Dublin and her new role as grandparent. Curious about who her daughter became, something about Stacey’s final month doesn’t seem to add up and Colette sets out to uncover the truth behind her daughter's death."

Where was ITV1 Redemption filmed?

Filmed in Ireland, most of the scenes took place in Dublin, speaking about filming close to home, actor Keith said: "It was lovely to be back in Dublin, and to be able to travel back to see my family on my days off, that was a luxury.

"It was also great that our director John wanted to make Dublin a part of the show, to make it a really strong character in its own right. It’s got such a rich history and beautiful buildings, and when you put that on screen it looks fantastic."

Executive producer Catherine Oldfield added: "I've never seen Dublin look better. I've been trying to make a show in Ireland for years, because I love the country, and I love Dublin in particular. I’d never managed it until now, so I was delighted to get this opportunity.

"Dublin looks a billion dollars on screen, and John was keen to feature bits of the city that you might not have necessarily seen before, the areas that aren't shown a lot on TV. Of course, we’ve got the shots of places like beautiful Trinity College, but we also go down on the docks, and to the warehouses, back streets and more industrial areas too."
