Norton

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.

Also in the supernatural drama in Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson, who plays the gentle but resilient singer Mary Brighton in the series.

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

The Graham Norton New Year’s Eve Show on BBC One, which featured actors Will Arnett and Owen Cooper as guests, looked back at the highlights – and low points – of 2025

TV host Graham Norton took aim at Donald Trump minutes into his New Year’s Eve special last night.

During his review of 2025, the veteran broadcaster was quick to turn his attention to the US President’s visit to the UK to meet the Royal Family. Graham, 62, flashed up a photo of Melania Trump wearing a wide-brimmed purple hat and joked she looked like “a lamp”.

He then quipped that the statement headwear may have been worn to stop her husband from leaning in for a kiss — setting the tone for a night of trademark digs just minutes into The Graham Norton New Year’s Eve Show on BBC One.

The Irish comedian kept the jokes rolling, leaning into the moment as he told viewers: “He was welcomed by the King and Queen, who were clearly happy to be photographed with him — Melania, not so much.” When the camera cut back to Melania’s oversized purple hat, Graham quipped: “I’m just a lamp. Please ignore me, I’m just a lamp,” before repeating, “Just ignore me,” while playfully mimicking her accent.

Yet, Graham took the gag further, Express.co.uk reports. He added: “Actually there is a security reason why Melania always wears a hat.. A nice wide brim can literally save her from a fate worse than death”” before footage showed Mr Trump attempting to kiss her on the cheek — only to be blocked by the hat.

Graham looked back at the highlights — and low points — of 2025 on the festive edition of his programme. His savage swipes came minutes into the episode of the BAFTA-winning chat show, pre-recorded ahead of its BBC One and iPlayer broadcast.

Tom Hiddleston, Laura Dern and Will Arnett, alongside Owen Cooper, Carey Mulligan and Tim Key joined Graham on the red sofa to ring in the new year. Alison Limerick provided the night’s music by performing her dance classic Where Love Lives.

The BBC recommissioned the programme for three more series earlier this year. Speaking at the time, the broadcaster said the programme remains one of its biggest entertainment successes, averaging 2.9 million viewers per episode across its most recent run and continuing to pull in huge numbers across social platforms including YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.

Graham, born in Dublin, Ireland, said hosting the programme remained both “a pleasure” and a “privilege”, teasing that the team were already looking ahead to welcoming more global stars onto the sofa.

This year’s New Year’s Eve line-up reflected that star power, with Hollywood names, British comedy favourites and breakout TV stars all joining Graham to look back on 2025.
