Joanne Froggatt's murder mystery series North Shore is now available to watch for free on ITVX.
Originally released on Australian broadcaster Network 10 in May 2023, the six-part drama follows "the clash of cultures when a British and an Australian detective team up to solve a complex murder mystery and uncover a conspiracy with international political consequences".
North Shore also stars Game of Thrones actor John Bradley, Young Rock's Kirsty Sturgess, Home and Away's Claire Lovering, Surviving Summer's Chris Alosio, plus Dan Spielman, Rob Carlton, Matt Passmore and Rhys Muldoon.

The series was created by Cold Feet's Mike Bullen and directed by Gregor Jordan, with writing from Marcia Gardner.
Froggatt was last seen on screen earlier this year in ITV's hospital drama Breathtaking, which is based on the memoir of palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke detailing the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other press about the series, Froggatt emphasised how important medical advisors Tom Petty and Andrew Cinnamond were to the series.
"Honestly, Tom and Andrew, from the acting side of things, they were absolutely imperative to the performance," she said, adding that the cast were given a "medical boot camp" that consisted of "medical school in about 16 hours".

Froggatt explained that this was integral to her performance in Breathtaking, saying: "To have that little bit of background knowledge, whenever you're acting anything, you have to know what you're saying.
"It has to make sense to you because you can't make it make sense to somebody else if you don't fully understand it and believe it and feel it yourself."
Elsewhere, Froggatt is set to reprise her role as Anna Bates in Downton Abbey's upcoming third film, which is set to feature a "meaningful" tribute to the late Maggie Smith.
North Shore is now available to stream on ITVX.
