There’s nothing like a "twisted family betrayal" drama to keep viewers hooked, and Channel 5’s Imposter will deliver just that. Set in a picturesque seaside hotel in Australia, the four-part series explores dark family secrets and shocking revelations.

It stars Coronation Street and Waterloo Road star Kym Marsh alongside Neighbours icon Jackie Woodburne, so if you're a big soap fan, you won't want to miss this! Here's everything we know so far about the Channel 5 drama:

What is Imposter about?

The story follows Helen (Jackie), a family matriarch who refuses to sell the hotel despite growing tensions with her three adult children. Everything changes when Amanda (Kym) arrives, claiming to be the daughter Helen gave up for adoption years ago, but is she really who she says she is?

“The lucrative hotel is the ultimate prize, and a twisted scheme soon spirals into betrayal and ultimately, murder,” the synopsis teases.

Does Imposter have a release date?

Currently, there isn't a release date for Channel 5's Imposter, but we'll update this page when it's announced.
