ITV has revealed thriller Red Eye returns New Year’s Day

Red Eye takes flight again on New Year’s Day with Jing Lusi reprising her role as DS Hana Li for a new investigation alongside guest star, Martin Compston. Joining Jing and Martin are Lesley Sharp and Jemma Moore who also return as Head of MI5 Madeline Delaney and journalist Jess Li.

What can we expect as Red Eye returns

From the press release, we learn:

Inside the US Embassy, the celebrations for a newly appointed US Ambassador to London are shattered when a call, threatening to blow a British plane out of the sky if anyone leaves, triggers an immediate embassy lockdown, trapping guests and staff inside.
And that’s when the murders begin, landing Hana Li, as a British cop, in a political and jurisdictional nightmare. Compelled to join forces with the Head of Embassy Security, Clay Brody, played by Martin Compston, a former colleague who once screwed her over, Hana has to see her way past her distrust of him and focus on the investigation. Because this time it’s personal. The plane that will be blown up is a government jet and Director General Madeline Delaney is onboard.
With a killer wreaking havoc inside the Embassy and evading them at every turn, Hana and Brody must discover who is behind the treacherous plot before time runs out for the hostages within the Embassy and the passengers on board Delaney’s plane.

There’s also a selection of images released as shown above. With the holiday season approaching, there’s a lot of press releases. Even so, we’ll keep an eye out for a trailer for this and let you know when we find it.
