Named Platform 7, the series follows the ghost of Lisa, stuck on the train station platform where she died and witnessed a major event
She starts to do her own investigation into her death, as she has no memory at all of what happened to her.
Throughout the episodes, she uses her limited memory to try and make some connection between what she saw and her own life.
Oh, and there’s a fair bit of supernatural in the ITV series too.

Jobson is the star of the new thriller series but it also features A Discovery of Witches’ Toby Regbo, Yaamin Chowdhury from The Lazarus Project, Hollyoaks’ Rhiannon Clements and Emily Carey from House of the Dragon.
Users are raving about Platform 7 on X as they write: “F**k me... "Platform 7" on ITV is amazing. Episode 3 is a particularly hard watch, as is the whole series, so I had to binge watch - fantastic series, with the caveat that it's quite intense.”
Another put: “Watching this series called platform 7 on ITV hub and omg I am HOOKED.”
Many call it ‘brilliant’ and ‘highly recommend’ watching it.

Others called it a ‘great bit of British drama’ as another wrote: “Jaq from Toy Boy played a blinder. Worth watching if you want to binge something this weekend.”
As one echoed: “Platform 7 ITV X, Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy) so flipping good, binge watch!”
Jobson previously spoke to Digital Spy about the role, saying: “There's something about haunting, I love it.
"That was the main hook for me, it was the haunting side of things but when it came down to the script; I haven't played anybody like Lisa before. So for me it was very much about trying something new.”
