Code of Silence Premiere Date and Trailer Revealed by BritBox
BritBox has revealed the official trailer and key art for the crime thriller Code of Silence, which is set to premiere with two episodes on July 24, 2025.
Consisting of six episodes, the series will air weekly, culminating in a finale on August 21.
Code of Silence is told through the point of view of Alison Brooks (Rose Ayling-Ellis), a Deaf canteen worker. Alison is struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, one in a police canteen and another in a local bar, while also doing her best to support her Deaf mum, Julie (Fifi Garfield).
It’s not long before Alison is pulled into a high-stakes police investigation when DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Ritchie) asks that she use her lip-reading skills to monitor a dangerous criminal gang. As her interpretation of their covert conversations becomes central to the investigation, Alison is plunged into an exhilarating new world.
Her role quickly becomes key to unlocking the police case, but her feelings become complicated when she finds herself drawn to one of the suspects, Liam Barlow (Kieron Moore). Despite knowing the risks and the growing threat to her personal life, Alison can’t let go.
The edgy crime drama, praised for its authentic portrayal and gripping story, will be available to stream in American Sign Language (ASL).
Created by Catherine Moulton (Baptiste, Hijack), who drew on her own experiences with lip-reading and hearing loss, Code of Silence offers a fresh and distinctive perspective on the intersection of crime and communication.
Joining Rose Ayling-Ellis in the cast are Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie, Andrew Buchan, Nathan Armarkwei Laryea, Joe Absolom, Beth Goddard, Andrew Scarborough, and Fifi Garfield.
Produced by Joseph Shrubb (Endeavour, McDonald & Dodds), the series is brought to life by lead director Diarmuid Goggins (Kin, Black Cab, Witness No. 3), who directs episodes 1-3.
Chanya Button (Doctor Who, World on Fire, Vita & Virginia) directs the latter half of the series, with writers Will Truefitt and Benji Walters penning episodes three and four.
Code of Silence is executive produced by Bryony Arnold and Damien Timmer for Mammoth Screen, alongside Robert Schildhouse and Stephen Nye for BritBox, as well as Rose Ayling-Ellis and Catherine Moulton.
ITV’s Director of Drama, Polly Hill, oversees the production for the network. Production company Mammoth Screen is part of ITV Studios (A Taste for Murder), which will distribute the series internationally.
