A major update has been given on Endeavour star Shaun Evans' new TV crime drama.

The actor played the titular character for 11 years of the Oxford-filmed Endeavour before the much-loved series came to an end with its final episode on March 12, 2023.

Fans of Mr Evans were delighted to hear that he would be returning to screens again in partnership with ITV once again.

Until I Kill You is another crime drama series but this time covers a true story and will also star Line of Duty and Motherland star Anna Maxwell Martin.

There has been much excitement for the new series but fans have been left in the dark over a possible UK release date after the show was already released in New Zealand.

Now a major update has been provided with a television magazine claiming the series was “coming soon”.

This week’s What’s on TV magazine featured the programme under a banner which said: “Coming soon...what you’ll be watching in the weeks ahead.”

ITV previously confirmed by ITV that the drama will be shown later this year and later than the initial expected release date.

A release date is yet to be confirmed but it is anticipated that the series will likely be released in September.
