Filming will begin on <em>Dark Heart<\/em>\u00a0in early spring 2018, with Chris Lang writing the first two-part story, Ben Harris (<em>Marcella<\/em>, <em>The Musketeers<\/em>) writing the second two-part story, and Lang writing episodes five and six.<\/p>\n<p>ITV&#8217;s head of drama, Polly Hill, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled Tom Riley has agreed to return as Will Wagstaffe in <em>Dark Heart<\/em>. As the central character, he has immersed himself in police work to seek some form of closure for what has happened in his past. It\u2019s a gritty, emotionally driven thriller from Chris Lang which I\u2019m only too pleased to recommission from Kate Bartlett\u2019s new drama label.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bartlett added: \u201cWagstaffe is an uncompromising, contemporary drama, which perfectly complements the Silverprint Pictures drama slate.
