New murder-mystery, The Loch comes to ITV

20 Jun 17 – 31 Jul 17, Date and show times TBD

The monsters are in your head: a brand new murder-mystery drama The Loch is on ITV this June

By Helena Kealey on 1/6/2017

'You've got a cold-blooded monster in your town', goes the trailer. Get it? Because it's a murder-mystery show set in Scotland? Called The Loch? Where the famous Loch ness monster lives?


Alright, yes. We're also worried that ITV had made an entire six-part drama just so that they could use some monster word play. The good news is, with a script penned by Stephen Brady and a cast that includes Laura Fraser (Detective Annie Redford) from The Missing and Downton Abbey's Siobhan, starring as DCI Lauren Quigley, we hope it'll be a good show, as well as a weak joke.



Not much is known about the drama, including when it's due to air. But we can tell you, is that it's a crepuscular murder-mystery, set in a bleak Scottish town with a tight-knit community that lives and breaths the local myths and cohabits with some seriously wild natural beauty.


Before you can say 'haggis', the body of a local man Niall Swift is discovered at the foot of the Carn Mohr Mountain, and a human heart is washed up on the loch's shore.


There's a monster, lurking in the deep (see what we did there?), which drags plenty of local characters under suspicion as young local detective Annie Redford struggles to keep a hold on her first murder case.


We've got high-hopes for The Loch which, from the trailer, looks pleasingly inspired by Scandi noir. With a bit of luck it'll also be charming enough to replace our Broadchurch obsession.
