Frauds, ITV’s “addictive” heist drama starring Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker, has finally confirmed its release date – and fans really don’t have long to wait before it hits the small screen!
The upcoming series follows Bert (Jones) and Sam (Whittaker), two conwomen who reconnect after a decade apart, with their latest meeting being facilitated after Bert is released from prison on compassionate grounds.
Owing to their “complex” shared history, Bert attempts to lure Sam out of her low-key life and back into the game of crime, with a multi-million-pound heist an enticing opportunity for both parties.

If you’d rather not wait until 20 October for the finale, then all six episodes will be available to stream immediately on ITVX from 5 October, meaning you can binge them quickly if you please.
“Whilst the team must overcome numerous challenges before they can pull off the heist, it’s the power struggle between Bert and Sam that threatens to derail their plans and destroy them both,” reads the synopsis.
“Set against the epic rolling hills of southern Spain and the dark criminal underbelly that casts a shadow over the glistening coast, Frauds is a complex and addictive story of friendship, deception and survival.”
Jones, who also serves as an executive producer on the project, previously said in a statement: “Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last two years has been a wild ride.

“We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat. I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do.”
In addition to Jones and Whittaker, the cast for the six-part series includes Christian Cooke, Horacio Colomé, Talisa Garcia, Elizabeth Berrington, Lee Boardman, Abdul Salis, Kate Fleetwood and Karan Gill.
Frauds will premiere on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 5 October.
