ITV drama Betrayal, which stars Shaun Evans, will end with its final episode tonight
ITV’s Betrayal will air its final episode
ITV has announced which programme will replace Betrayal in the TV schedule as the final episode airs tonight at 9pm.
The synopsis for the episode, which is available to watch on ITVX, reads, “With hours until the suspected attack on a university, John finds himself alone and in captivity.
“If he is to save the lives of those at risk, he must find a means of escape without alerting the men who are holding him and the allies whom he can no longer trust.”
The final instalment of the drama, which features Shaun Evans as M15 agent John Hughes and Beyond Paradise star Zahra Ahmadi, will be broadcast between 9pm and 10pm.
Set in Manchester, the show follows John as he juggles a crumbling marriage with the pressures of protecting national security, after becoming embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy involving an informant who’s murdered before sharing crucial intelligence.
The four episodes of Betrayal, which are available to watch on ITVX, have received mixed reviews from viewers.
Last week, the ITV drama sparked a backlash with fans, with many stating there were too many plot holes “too obvious to overlook”.
One wrote on X, “Most indiscreet MI5 worker ever.”
“I think an MI5 guy would know to hide a message on the lock screen,” someone else said.
A third asked: “After the two deaths at the start of #Betrayal episode 1, how come no one ran out after the first shot, and started filming with a mobile?”
“Shootout at the airport? In broad daylight? And did she crouch behind some explosive barrel?” queried another.
However, next Monday, season one, episode two of The Lady will air on ITV in its place.
The show will air between 9pm and 10pm, like Betrayal, and the synopsis teases, “Jane meets dashing businessman Luis Castillo and the two begin a relationship, but tensions soon erupt on a holiday in Greece, and she becomes increasingly unstable.
“As Jane’s carefully constructed composure starts to fracture and puts her position with the duchess at risk, a lifeline appears in the shape of the charismatic Tommy Cressman.”
Betrayal is available to watch on ITVX.
