Red Eye is a new thriller that will be starting on ITV very soon and will feature Richard Armitage and Jing Lusi.
After attending a medical conference in Beijing and almost dying in a car crash Dr Matthnew Nolan (Armitage) is immediately arrested after landing back in London.
This is because a dead woman was discovered in his crashed car, and despite his protest of innocence, he is extradited to China in the custody of DC Hana Li (Lusi) to face charges.
However, on board flight 357, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy and a growing number of murders.
Speaking to the Radio Times, ITV's head of drama Polly Hill said: "Red Eye is a brilliantly addictive thriller with an international story taking place on the red eye flight from Heathrow to Beijing.
"Thanks to Peter A. Dowling's scripts, the story will have the audience gripped and continually surprised throughout."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
