Many of us will be familiar with Anna Maxwell Martin's ability to deliver powerful performances, but her turn in ITV's Until I Kill You is something else altogether. The series, which is based on the extraordinary true story of Delia Balmer who survived a near-fatal relationship with murderer John Sweeney, sees her step into the career-defining role of Delia herself - and the result is a 5-star drama that will both move and astound you.
The harrowing drama, which first aired on ITV in 2024, takes its cues from Delia Balmer’s memoir, Living with a Serial Killer, with Anna playing the domestic abuse survivor with incredible depth. Over the course of four compelling yet increasingly disturbing episodes, we watch as Delia's repeated traumas make her harder and angrier, causing officers and friends to step away from her.
