Published: April 16, 2025 -- ITV have unveiled a dramatic new 90-second trailer for the channel's gripping new crime thriller Code of Silence, starring Rose Ayling-Ellis in a groundbreaking lead role.

The highly anticipated six-part series, written and created by Catherine Moulton and directed by Diarmuid Goggins, offers a fresh and distinctive perspective on the intersection of crime and communication.

The trailer reveals the impressive cast joining Rose, including Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie and Andrew Buchan.

At the heart of the series is Alison Brooks (Rose Ayling-Ellis), a smart and determined Deaf woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when her remarkable lip-reading skills catch the attention of DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Ritchie) and DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan).

Recruited for a covert operation, Alison must surveil a dangerous gang planning a high-stakes heist, thrusting her into a world of crime and deception.

As she deciphers the gang’s secret conversations, Alison becomes a vital asset to the case. But when she forms a dangerous bond with gang recruit Liam Barlow (Kieron Moore), the risks grow greater and her true identity is put at stake.

Balancing undercover work, family pressures, and emotional fallout, Alison is forced to confront her limits – and change the course of her life forever.
