A new mystery drama is coming to Channel 5 next week starring EastEnders’ Jo Joyner and Waterloo Road’s Angela Griffin.

The Wives is a six-part drama that sees a family try to move on one year after the disappearance of a family member.

Radio Times explains: “The series stars Jo Joyner, Tamzin Outhwaite and Angela Griffin as Beth, Sylvia and Natasha, three sisters-in-law piecing together a mystery that shook their family to its core.

“The death of their other sister-in-law, Annabelle (Christine Bottomley), while they had been holidaying in Malta had initially been labelled an accident, but when her widowed husband Charlie (Jamie Bamber) begins dating another women who resembles a younger double of her one year on, the family grows suspicious.”

The publisher said the synopsis teased the drama, saying: “With lies coming to light and evidence building, the women work together and against each other to unravel the mystery and bring the culprit to justice.

“But with corrupt officials, drug cartels and career criminals closer to home than ever expected, have they bitten off more than they can chew?”
