Those looking to sink their teeth into a new drama are in luck as ITV's new streaming service ITVX has dropped a new series on the platform. Called The Reunion and starring Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, the new drama is adapted from Guillaume Musso's bestselling novel of the same name aka La Jeune Fille et la Nuit.
Since its launch in early December, the broadcaster's brand-new streaming service has released one flagship show a week. So far these have included A Spy Among Friends, David Tennant's Litvinenko, the family drama Riches, and Vicky McClure's Without Sin.
The Reunion, based on the French best-seller, premiered on ITVX on Thursday, January 12. A synopsis for the series reads: "The Reunion tells the story of Vinca Rockwell who went missing one freezing night as her campus was paralyzed by a snowstorm. Several years later, three former friends bound by a tragic secret and the disappearance of their friend reconnect and try to find the truth about what happened the night Vinca went missing."

The Reunion location
The French Riviera-set series adapted from Guillaume Musso's bestselling novel, shot on location in the south of France last summer. Ioan said part of what attracted him to the show was the location.
He explained: "I just loved the story and I loved the script. It always starts with the script as well as: 'What's the character? Can I play him? What's hidden in there for me to get my teeth into?' You also imagine how it will look on screen and will people watch it and enjoy it. Then you add the South of France into the mix as well, that beautiful backdrop and getting to actually film there. All the ingredients were there and I just thought: 'I've got to do this. I've got to leap on board.'"
