'Until I Kill You' Will Premiere on BritBox in November

The Shaun Evans-Anna Maxwell Martin thriller Until I Kill You has finally landed a streaming home in America only days after ITV dropped the official trailer. As I predicted almost a year ago, upon writing up the series' first images, the limited series will stream on BritBox in the U.S.; the service has confirmed it scooped up the series to stream in November 2024. (BritBox viewers, please note this will be a U.S. debut only; Until I Kill You has been streaming in Canada since April 2024 on the Hollywood Suite channel.)

The series is Evan's first follow-up to his decade tenure as Young Endeavour Morse for ITV and Masterpiece in the hit series Endeavour. However, the project should be considered Maxwell Martin's, as she plays the character the show was initially named for, Delia Balmer. Balmer, a real-life NHS nurse, met her boyfriend, John Sweeney, in 1991 and moved in with him before realizing something was profoundly wrong. But by the time she'd put two and two together, it was too late; Sweeney, a serial killer who had murdered his previous girlfriend, was already attempting to kill her.

Balmer's case is famous in the U.K.; she survived Sweeney's multiple attempts on her life and the London Metropolitan Police's complete incompetence that allowed him to escape. When Sweeney's next girlfriend wasn't so lucky, Sweeney was arrested, and Balmer was called upon to testify in open court about her experiences. The result gave him the nickname "The Scalp Hunter" and put him away for life; Balmer subsequently wrote a best-seller detailing the experience, which is now the basis for the series.
