Breathtaking on ITV: cast, number of episodes, book it’s based on, start date and trailer


Breathtaking begins on ITV soon, and here's what it's about, who the cast are, and the true story the Covid-19 series is based on.

Based on the accounts of hospital doctor Rachel Clarke, the series shines a light on what really happened as Covid-19 swept the vastly unprepared UK. “Our NHS staff are nothing less than absolute heroes in my eyes, and I hope telling this story goes a little way towards us understanding their truth, their lived experience and honouring their unbelievable commitment and sacrifice on behalf of us all.” Speaking about filming Breathtaking, he said: “Everyone at HTM Television has felt privileged to dramatise Rachel Clarke’s hauntingly illuminating memoir of health workers struggling to cope with the extraordinary challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
