Here’s everything you need to know…
Litvinenko is a new ITVX show
This David Tennant and Mark Bonnar led programme tells the story of Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian Federal Security Services and KGB officer.
The KGB officer’s death from polonium poisoning in November 2006 triggered one of the most complex and dangerous investigations in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

David Tennant will play Alexander Litvinenko. The show is written by George Kay whose previous successes include Lupin and Criminal.
