Red Eye is a new thriller that will be starting on ITV very soon and will feature Richard Armitage and Jing Lusi.
After attending a medical conference in Beijing and almost dying in a car crash Dr Matthnew Nolan (Armitage) is immediately arrested after landing back in London.
This is because a dead woman was discovered in his crashed car, and despite his protest of innocence, he is extradited to China in the custody of DC Hana Li (Lusi) to face charges.
However, on board flight 357, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy and a growing number of murders.
Speaking to the Radio Times, ITV's head of drama Polly Hill said: "Red Eye is a brilliantly addictive thriller with an international story taking place on the red eye flight from Heathrow to Beijing.
"Thanks to Peter A. Dowling's scripts, the story will have the audience gripped and continually surprised throughout."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
