ITV has ordered Hollington Drive, a four-part thriller that hails from Blood scribe Sophie Petzal and All3Media's scripted label West Road Pictures. Filming is set to get underway later this year. 
Julie Graham (The Bletchley Circle), Neil Morrissey (Line of Duty), Tallulah Greive (Millie In Between), Nico Mirallegro (The Village), Art Malik (The Woman In White) and Wanda Ventham (Only Fools And Horses) have been cast in Penance, Channel 5's three-part drama based on Kate O’Riordan's novel of the same name. 
Blood is returning. Virgin Media Television in Ireland has renewed the Adrian Dunbar fronted series for a six episode second season. Channel 5, who acquired the show's first season, is confirmed to be returning as the UK broadcaster for season two.
