ITV's brand new crime drama will air on Monday, August 29, 2022 – and this is just the first episode of the series.

A further four episodes will follow over subsequent weeks.

What is The Suspect about?

The Suspect is an adaptation of Michael Robotham's novel – a psychological thriller based on the leading character Dr Joseph O’Loughlin.

Clinical psychologist Dr Joseph O’Loughlin is a man who appears to have the picture perfect life – a successful career, a devoted wife a daughter and even a publishing deal.

That is until he finds himself in the centre of an unsettling murder investigation, after a young woman named Catherine is found in a shallow grave in a West London cemetery. 

Unclear whether Catherine was murdered or took her own life, Doctor Joe is asked to give his expertise on the case, and so sets about profiling the woman.

Shaun Parkes

Actor Shaun Parkes will appear on our screens once more – but this time as The Suspect's detective DI Ruiz.

His role will see DI Ruiz, a detective who has been solving murders for years investigating the unsettling murder of a woman found in a shallow grace.

He has also starred as the detective in BBC Two's Moses Jones before taking on roles in The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, ITV's Identity, Death in Paradise, Silent Witness and Line of Duty.

Since then she has appeared in Bodyguard, Wild Bill, Dark Heart, Doctor Who and more recently Vigil as Surgeon Lieutenant Tiffany Docherty.

And now she will be taking on the role of DI Devi – a newbie in the world of murder investigations, working alongside fellow detective DI Ruiz.

Speaking on her character Anjli Mohindra says: “Devi is a hot shot police detective sergeant who hasn’t quite found her tribe yet. She wants to climb the ranks within the police force but murder isn’t necessarily where she wants to end up.

''It’s a stepping stone for her to get to the next level of her career. She is incredibly tenacious and super smart. There’s an awareness that she is fast tracking her way up the ladder.

“She is partnered with Detective Inspector Vince Ruiz, played by Shaun Parkes. He’s a bit of a maverick cop who likes to do things based on instinct while she is very by the book. So they make a very unlikely duo.”

Angela Griffin

Coronation street actress and Waterloo Road favourite Angela Griffin will appear along the list of famous faces in ITV's The Suspect.

Playing Melinda, an old colleague of Joe's from his younger days of practising psychology, and he needs her help – but first their past needs to be revisited.
