FIRST LOOK: Channel 5 in the UK has released images from its upcoming autumn line-up, including new psychological thriller The Teacher, mystery The Wives and period drama The Hardacres.

The Teacher, which is produced by Clapperboard, forms part of an Anthology collection following the first installment of The Teacher that aired in 2022. This new series stars Kara Tointon, Emmett J Scanlan and Will Mellor. When a student’s death is revealed to be murder, Dani, a dedicated art teacher, quickly becomes entangled in a web of desire and deceit with her own marriage at the centre of it.

The Wives, produced by Gaumont and starring Jo Joyner, Tamzin Outhwaite and Angela Griffin, is a six-part mystery drama that follows the unravelling of one family in a summer that changes all their lives.

The Hardacres (also pictured top), produced by Playground and starring Claire Cooper, Julie Graham and Liam McMahon, is a sweeping rags to riches story that follows the lives, loves and fortunes of the working class Hardacre family as they move from a grimy fish dock to a vast country estate in 1890’s Yorkshire.
