Katherine Kelly, David Morrissey, Toby Jones and Daniel Mays will star in new ITV drama The Long Shadow

The seven-part series follows the impact of Sutcliffe’s shocking crimes with the title making reference to the fear he cast over the region. Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women between 1975 and 1980 in Yorkshire.

It features an ensemble cast including Katherine Kelly, David Morrissey, Toby Jones and Daniel Mays.
