What is One Night about?

The six part mystery series was originally released in Australia in 2023 and came to Paramount Plus in the UK a year later. However, it was later removed from the platform.

It is set to be broadcast weekly on ITV/ STV on Saturday nights starting today (August 16). The boxset will also be available on ITVX/ STV Player.

The preview via ITV reads: “One Night is the story of three women whose bond was all but destroyed by the traumatic events of one night 20 years ago.

“Since then, Simone (Nicole da Silva) has harboured secret hopes of becoming a novelist but most of her haphazard attempts have been shoved into her bottom drawer. Now, at the age of 40, she has finally written the one story she could never get out of her mind, and her debut manuscript has become an unexpected overnight success.

“But it soon becomes apparent that the devastating story the book tells doesn’t exclusively belong to her. At the heart of Simone’s novel is a tragedy which also happened to Tess (Jodie Whittaker) and Hat (Yael Stone), her two childhood best friends.

“As it becomes harder to prise fact from fiction, one person’s memory and story from another’s, the book threatens to derail all their friendships, bringing old traumas to the surface of the small coastal community where they grew up, and stirring its perpetrators, who want to make it all go away.”
