ITV has announced a brand new drama series starring Line of Duty actor Stephen Graham.
The Walk-In depicts the true story of how a neo-Nazi plot to murder an MP was foiled by an inside man, Matthew Collins, who will be played by Graham.
Collins is a reformed neo-Nazi who now works as a journalist for the anti-racism organisation Hope, not Hate.
The nail-biting crime drama will follow Collins as he attempts to stop the radicalisation of young white men who are being turned toward a life of crime.

Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jeff Pope, previously known for A Confession and Little Boy Blue, has written the script.
The Walk-In also stars Jason Flemyng (Pennyworth), Dean-Charles Chapman (Game of Thrones), Leanne Best (Four Lives) and Andrew Ellis (This Is Going to Hurt).
“At HOPE, not hate, our aim is to continually challenge extremist and far right-wing activity within the UK. Our role in foiling an active plot to kill a serving politician is something that we are extremely proud of as an organisation,” said the charity depicted in the drama.
“The fact that this story is going to be highlighted and told to the public through ITV’s upcoming series will further bolster HOPE not hate’s work to scupper these groups, increasing awareness and will continue to aid us to support at-risk communities and at-risk individuals.”

Meanwhile, Graham is keeping himself busy lately after recently teaming up with Disney+.
The actor has reunited with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to collaborate on a new UK TV series.
A Thousand Blows is set in the 1880s, delving into the world of illegal boxing in Victorian London.
According to reports, the series will follow two close friends from Jamaica, Hezekiah and Alec, who move to London and get themselves caught up in a life of crime.
Episode one of The Walk-In will air on ITV on Monday, October 3. The remaining four episodes will then air weekly, with the boxset available on ITV Hub after the first episode has aired.
