New Horowitz drama for ITV

22.07.08 Anna Richardson

Anthony Horowitz is penning a serial for ITV, which the broadcaster is billing as a "major new event drama". The author of the popular Alex Rider series of books is working on "Collision", a new drama of five one-hour episodes, which will tell the story of a major road accident and the group of people caught up in its aftermath. It will include storylines of government cover-ups, smuggling, embezzlement and murder, and, according to ITV, it ends with "a devastating twist".

The programme will feature the largest collision ever shot in the UK for TV and will be delivered in February 2009.

Horowitz's television credits include "Foyle's War". The series will be co-written by Mike Walker, and was commissioned by ITV director of television, Peter Fincham, with director of drama Laura Mackie. It is being produced by independent Greenlit.
