Endeavour star Shaun Evans has spoken about his upcoming ITV crime drama series.
The Liverpool-born actor played the titular character in ITV’s Inspector Morse prequel Endeavour which ran for 11 years.
After its final episode last year, fans have wondered when they would see Evans again but it was announced by ITV that he would star alongside Anna Maxwell Martin in Until I Kill You.
The series, which was in production under the working title Delia Balmer, will explore the story of Delia who survived a near-fatal relationship with murderer John Sweeney.

Speaking to ITV, Shaun Evans revealed: "I've previously worked with World Productions and ITV separately, so I'm looking forward to joining forces to tell this story.
“A story that is quite rightly told through the victim's lens, Delia. We have an excellent script from Nick Stevens and I couldn't be more delighted to work with Anna."
Co-star Anna Maxwell Martin: “Telling an important story with the excellent team from World Productions, producer Ken Horn, director Julia Ford and a brilliant cast is always an exciting proposition!
“As it is brought to life by Nick Stevens, hopefully, we will do Delia due diligence.”
