## Summary

Keeley Hawes has joined the second season of ITV thriller Gone, playing a respected paediatric surgeon whose past comes under scrutiny. Her character, Ruth Manning, draws the attention of DS Annie Cassidy as the detective investigates whether Manning is concealing the truth about historical crimes to protect her patients.

The series is set in Bristol and stars Eve Myles as Cassidy. Its first season, featuring David Morrissey as a headmaster suspected in his wife’s disappearance, reportedly set streaming records on ITVX. Created by George Kay, Gone is partly inspired by the book To Hunt a Killer and the real-life work of former detective Julie Mackay and ITV crime correspondent Robert Murphy, who advise the production.
