London, UK – Streaming enthusiasts across Great Britain are about to gain a major new attraction for their viewing queues. ITVX, the UK’s rapidly evolving public service streaming platform, has announced the highly anticipated arrival of the HBO-produced supernatural drama, "The Nevers." All 12 episodes of the acclaimed series will land on the service, ready for immediate binge-watching, starting February 1, 2026.
The acquisition marks a significant coup for ITVX, bringing a high-profile, globally recognized production to its growing library, especially one featuring recognizable British talent like James Norton.
Dive into Victorian London’s Supernatural Secrets
Set against the backdrop of 1896 London, "The Nevers" plunges viewers into a city irrevocably altered by a mysterious, sudden supernatural event. This event grants a select group of individuals—predominantly women—a range of extraordinary, often unpredictable, abilities, referred to in the series as their 'turns'.
The official synopsis paints a picture of immediate peril and reluctant heroism: "No matter their particular 'turns', all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger. It falls to mysterious, quick-fisted widow Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) to protect and shelter these gifted 'orphans'. To do so, they must face the brutal forces determined to annihilate their kind."
This premise blends historical drama with gripping fantasy, appealing to a broad spectrum of viewers looking for something beyond standard procedural fare.
Star Power Driving the Narrative
The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, but the inclusion of James Norton is particularly noteworthy for UK audiences. Norton, celebrated for his compelling performances in beloved series like Happy Valley and Grantchester, takes on the role of Hugo Swann. Swann is depicted as an aristocratic young man who navigates the complex social landscape of Victorian London while owning a private, presumably clandestine, club.
Beyond Norton, the cast features Olivia Williams, Tom Riley, Rochelle Neil, Eleanor Tomlinson, Amy Manson, Pip Torrens, Denis O’Hare, and many others, ensuring rich character dynamics across the dozen episodes.
A Resurgence for a Missed Gem
It is important to note the history of "The Nevers." The series initially premiered in April 2021, with its 12 episodes divided into two distinct parts. However, the show was subsequently removed from the HBO Max library in 2022, leaving many dedicated fans unable to easily revisit or discover the series.
This removal created a void, leading to online frustration among those who had championed the show upon its debut. As recently as late 2025, viewers were taking to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express their disappointment and demand a home for the series. Comments such as, "Sometimes I just randomly think about that show and I have no place to binge," highlight the pent-up demand ITVX is now poised to satisfy.
The availability of all 12 episodes simultaneously on ITVX from February 1st directly addresses this long-standing fan request, positioning the show as an immediate 'must-binge' title for the start of the new year.
ITVX Solidifies Its Content Strategy
The arrival of "The Nevers" underscores ITVX’s ongoing commitment to securing high-quality, international content to compete in the crowded UK streaming market. While ITV commissions strong domestic programming, attracting established US hits—even those with a complex licensing history—broadens the platform's appeal beyond its core terrestrial offerings.
For viewers accustomed to the high production values associated with HBO, this free-to-access addition on ITVX represents exceptional value. The series merges period drama aesthetics with thrilling science-fiction elements, creating a rich tapestry that rewards close attention.
With the launch date fast approaching, anticipation is building for February 2026. Fans who missed the initial run in 2021, or those eager to re-experience the intricate world-building and compelling performances, now have a clear destination: ITVX. Prepare to discover why this Victorian-era tale of empowered outcasts has earned its reputation as truly binge-worthy television.
