ITV also has plenty of new shows in the pipeline, including recently-announced drama The Lady, which is inspired by the real-life rise and fall of former royal dresser Jane Andrews.
Shortly after losing her job as the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson's royal dresser, Andrews was convicted of murdering her partner in 2001, making headlines around the world.
Lee Haven Jones is set to direct The Lady from a script penned by Harlots writer Debbie O'Malley, with The Crown producers Left Bank Pictures onboard to make the project.
ITV is also bringing a new County Durham-set series to the screen, starring the Cornetto Trilogy's Nick Frost and comedian Jordan Gray.
Titled Transaction, the comedy series will star Gray as Liv, described as a trans egomaniac who causes havoc during her night shift at a supermarket.
A new ITV crime drama starring Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis and Ghosts actor Charlotte Ritchie is also in the works.
North Shore will be available to stream from Sunday, December 29 on ITVX.
