Popular ITV drama Red Eye is said to be returning for a third series, after fears the show would be axed.
After going head-to-head with BBC's The Night Manager earlier this year, viewing figures didn't look too good initially.
Line Of Duty's Martin Compston will also be returning for the third series, according to reports.
A TV insider said: 'The drama launched on New Year's Day and went up against one of the most hyped shows of 2026 so far, so it always faced a challenge.
'But it met that challenge and also had the figures hugely boosted by viewers watching it on streaming service ITVX, which is one of the most important measures of a programme's success these days.
'So from fearing it might not return, it now looks like bringing Red Eye back is a bit of a no brainer for ITV. Though they've yet to officially recommission the third outing or confirm castings', the source added to The Sun.
Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment.
The series, which first hit screens last year, starred Richard Armitage as a doctor accused of a horrifying crime overseas, and Jing Lusi as the police officer tasked with returning him to the UK.
The tense six-part series, which took place almost entirely on a plane, saw the duo uncovering a quickly escalating conspiracy and growing number of murders.
Red Eye reached an impressive 29 million streams on ITVX after eight million fans tuned in to watch its debut and was one of the broadcaster's top dramas of 2024.
And when it returned for its second series, Line of Duty's Martin joined the cast.
Martin appeared as the Head of Embassy Security, Clay Brody, a former colleague of DS Hana's who once 'screwed her over'.
The synopsis read:
'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.
'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.'
Martin and Jing was joined by Lesley Sharp, in her role as Head of MI5 Madeline Delaney, and Jemma Moore as journalist Jess Li.
