ITV has commissioned the thriller Our House, based upon the best-selling novel from Louise Candlish of the same name.

The four-part drama will be adapted by screenwriter Simon Ashdown and produced by Red Planet Pictures, with joint managing director Belinda Campbell as executive producer. Our House narrates the story of Fiona Lawson, who arrives home one day to find strangers moving into her house. With events spiraling beyond her control, we feel her panic rising as she can’t reach estranged husband, Bram.

ITV’s head of drama, Polly Hill, said: “I’m very excited to have commissioned Our House. It’s an addictive, suspenseful novel and Simon Ashdown perfectly captures that in his adaptation. I’m looking forward to working with Belinda and Red Planet once again on bringing this modern and entertaining tale to screen.”

Candlish added: “Some of the most addictive drama I’ve watched in recent years has come from ITV, so it’s an honor and a career highlight to have an adaptation of Our House join such prestigious company. The way Simon and the Red Planet Pictures team have brought Fi and Bram’s hair-raising story to life is absolute genius.”

Ashdown said: “I was gripped by Louise’s brilliant novel from the first page and loved the deft intertwining of edge-of-your-seat thriller and complex exploration of a marriage in free fall. It’s this balancing act between the two that makes Our House such a compelling story to adapt.”
