After the Flood preview

One of the first big dramas of 2024 is here, with the release of the much-anticipated murder mystery After The Flood — an ITV drama tipped to rival Line Of Duty for edge-of-the-seat intrigue.

Peaky Blinders and Happy Valley star Sophie Rundle takes the lead role as PC Joanna Marshall, who takes on the task of investigating the death of a man during a catastrophic flood in a quiet Yorkshire town.

After cops find the man's body in a lift in an underground car park, it's initially assumed that he drowned in the high water, but Marshall soon discovers that there's more to the death than first presumed.

While the drama centers on the unfolding investigation, the show also explores the impact of climate change on the lives of residents in the small town.

Alongside Rundle, the series also boasts The Crown’s Nicholas Gleaves as Sgt Phil Mackie and Life On Mars’ star Philip Glenister as property developer Jack. Lorraine Ashbourne meanwhile plays PC Marshall's mum, while Jacqueline Boatswain takes the role of local politician Sarah Mackie.

You can catch all six episodes with our guide below, which tells you everything about how to watch After the Flood online from anywhere in the world.

How to watch After the Flood outside the UK

You can watch After the Flood for free from the UK, but bear in mind that if you're abroad and away from home, you won't be able to watch After the Flood online from abroad, or access ITVX.

Instead, you can circumvent geo-blocks by using a VPN, or Virtual Private Network. It's completely legal, very affordable and easy to use - and it also encrypts your browsing, offering protection against cybercriminals and government snooping.
