ITVX's British crime drama series Code of Silence, starring Andrew Buchan and Rose Ayling-Ellis, dropped on May 18, 2025, in the U.K. Two months after its U.K. premiere, the show debuted with two episodes on BritBox on July 24, 2025.

For viewers outside the U.K., who were unable to watch the highly rated series, the wait was worth it. It arrived with the right buzz, bite, and a lead performance that's impossible to ignore.

The series centres on the story of Alison Woods, a deaf woman caterer whose unexpected involvement in a police investigation as a lip reader turns into far more personal and dangerous than expected. The synopsis, as per IMDb, reads:

"Alison Woods, deaf caterer, works to support her mother, and herself. Alison is asked by the police to lip-read conversations with dangerous criminals. Alison starts to fall for one of the suspects, but will not abandon the investigation."

This crime series builds suspense around a planned jewelry heist and the unlikely key to catching it- Alison Woods. A deaf catering worker at a police station, Alison, steps in as an emergency lip reader when conventional resources fail to solve the case.

Alison's involvement deepens when she begins working at a bar frequented by suspects-and ends up falling for one. Created by Catherine Moulton, who is partially hearing impaired, the show turns lip-reading into a pivotal detective tool.

Since its UK debut, Code of Silence has set streaming records. The premiere drew 7.5 million viewers, and total box set streams have exceeded 20 million across platforms, making it one of the most-watched series of the network in 2025.
