The period drama first aired back in 2021 and features the likes of James Norton, Eleanor Tomlinson and Tom Riley.
Next month, ITV viewers are in for a treat as a popular supernatural period drama is set to land on the streaming platform.
The Nevers, which is originally a Sky Atlantic and HBO series, was first released five years ago in 2021 and consists of 12 episodes, which were split into two instalments.
Set in 1896 Victorian London, it follows a community that is rocked to its core after a supernatural event.
As a result, the event gives people, mostly women, abnormal abilities from the wondrous to the disturbing. This group are then given the name the ‘Touched’.
A synopsis for the show reads: “But no matter their particular ‘”turns,'” all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger.
“It falls to mysterious, quick-fisted widow Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) to protect and shelter these gifted “orphans.” To do so, they will have to face the brutal forces determined to annihilate their kind.”
The cast features the likes of James Norton, who takes on the role of Hugo Swan, a morally ambiguous aristocrat who runs a secret club. Although he’s fascinated by the touched, he exploits the supernatural group for entertainment.

ITV viewers will also see the likes of Olivia Williams, Tom Riley, Rochelle Neil and Amy Manson in The Nevers.
Pip Torrens, Denis O’Hare, Zackary Momoh, Elizabeth Berrington, Kiran Sawar, Anna Devlin, Viola Prettejohn, Ella Smith, Nick Frost and Ben Chaplin are also featured in the show.
Speaking to Radio Times in the past about the show, James said: “It’s so unpredictable and as a result it’s just so brave.”
“That’s what makes the series unique, I think. When you watch episode six, your mind will be blown. Ours was blown when we read it, so watching it is going to be an absolutely crazy experience!”
The series has received high praise in the past from fans as one person said: “This is a superb supernatural drama. Well acted, great characters and superbly produced. Well worth a watch, so you can make up your own minds.”
Another shared: “So far, I think this show is a cinematic masterpiece. Slow and deep storytelling, beautiful world-building and intriguing character-building. It sweeps you in. I definitely recommend.”
While someone else shared: “Have just binge watched the first six parts, I am totally hooked. This is a very original series that is really refreshing. It has great characters who you become really attached to. Some of the best television I’ve seen for a long time.”
ITV will launch The Nevers to stream for free on ITVX from February 1
