The television series, Payback, features Morven Christie and Peter Mullan in a six-part crime thriller. The plot revolves around a woman named Lexie who becomes deeply involved in a police investigation surrounding a dangerous crime leader. At the beginning of the story, Lexie, a stay-at-home mom, is about to return to work when tragedy strikes her family, altering her life completely.
Although Payback is not based on a single true story, its inspiration comes from real-life events and situations. The show’s creator, Debbie O’Malley, drew ideas from an unsolved true crime story about a Scottish banker and the Panama Papers leak. The characters in Payback are not based on specific individuals but reflect aspects of criminal figures and law enforcement professionals.
The cast includes Morven Christie as Lexie Noble, Peter Mullan as Cal Morris, and other notable actors in supporting roles. Payback started airing on ITV1 and consists of six episodes, with the option to watch it on ITVX or BritBox as a box set. The series follows the gripping tale of Lexie Noble navigating through a dangerous and suspenseful world.
The release date of Payback was on Wednesday, October 4, at 9 pm on ITV1, with subsequent episodes planned to air on the following Wednesdays at the same time. The show provides a thrilling crime series for viewers to enjoy on ITV1, ITVX, and BritBox.
