A new ITV crime drama starring acting favourites from both Downton Abbey and Luther has been given a UK release date.
A Taste for Murder sees DCI Joe Mottram, played by Luther's Warren Brown, take a sabbatical after the sudden death of his wife in order to reconnect with his teenage daughter Angelica (Beau Gadsdon, The Railway Children Return).
His late wife's parents Chef Gennaro (Urbano Barberini, Casino Royale) and Elena Da Vinale (Phyllis Logan, Downton Abbey), welcome Joe and Angelica with open arms to their beloved seaside restaurant which they run – but things soon take a turn.
After a local man's body is found on a beach and Gennaro's nephew and sous-chef Luca (Alessandro Fella, Barbarians) is arrested for murder, Joe can’t help but get involved in the investigation.
Despite initially clashing with local inspector Lara Sarrancino (Cristiana Dell’Anna, Gomorrah), the pair for an unlikely partnership as they investigate a variety of crimes across the island.
All episodes of the six-part crime series, which comes from Hotel Portofino, Professor T and Patience creator Matt Baker, will stream from Wednesday 13 May on ITVX.

His lessons with Gennaro and Elena in the kitchen ultimately help him to become a better cook, father and detective.
"As the investigations deepen, the idyllic veneer of the island cracks, exposing a web of deception that forces Joe to confront a truth he never saw coming, and which turns his world upside down."
Also joining the cast are Gaia Scodellaro (The Equalizer 3) as Daria, a local divorcee who works in the restaurant kitchen, and Alessandro Bedetti (Those About to Die) as Daniele, who catches Angelica's eye and offers to show her the island.
