<\/p>\nA 2024 series based on a “thrilling” young adult novel about a forbidden love story has been added to a new streaming platform in the UK. Originally airing on AMC in the US, Fallen follows 17-year-old Luce, played by Jessica Alexandre, as she’s caught in a centuries-old love triangle of which she has no memory.<\/p>\n
The “sweeping” romantic fantasy series, which is now available to stream on ITVX in the UK, is an adaptation on the 2009 book by the same name by Lauren Kate. It kicks off with Lucinda ‘Luce’ Price, a teen who’s sent to cult-like rehab facility Sword and Cross for a crime she can’t remember. <\/p>\n
While there, she feels inexplicably connected to two boys, Daniel Grigori (Gijs Blom) and Cameron ‘Cam’ Briel (Timothy Innes), with the trailer, which you can watch at the top of the page, hinting that the trio goes way back. <\/p>\n
