Grace returns to ITV this weekend with a new series starring John Simm, Richie Campbell, Zoe Tapper and more.

The new series will be the show’s fifth and fans can expect lots more drama as a body is found on a Sussex beach.

The Radio Times shared a summary of the new series: “As Grace navigates the aftermath of Sandy's suicide, his newfound son Bruno, and a profound personal loss in his and Cleo's life, his team is called to a Sussex beach when an unidentified male body washes up dead in a barrel - the very same morning sees a Brighton football stadium receive a chilling anonymous demand and be faced with an impossible decision.

“Roy, who is at a match there bonding with Bruno, now finds himself locked in a frantic race to save hundreds of lives”.
