A new Channel 5 psychological thriller starring Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure will air this weekend.
Insomnia is a new drama which follows Emma, a successful woman, who suffers with sleep deprivation weeks before turning 40.
Radio Times shared a summary of what viewers can expect from the programme: “Successful lawyer Emma Averill is terrified that she is destined to suffer the same fate as her mother and experience a violent psychotic breakdown on her 40th birthday as a result of inherited 'bad blood'.
“A couple of weeks before the milestone, Emma stops sleeping and her world begins to unravel, straining her relationship with her husband Robert and children Chloe and Will.
“As her mental state fractures, Emma resolves to confront her family history to prevent tragedy striking successive generations.”
