WARNING: This section contains spoilers for The Widow on ITV Yes, Amazon recently dropped a heart-pounding trailer which starts with Georgia learning about the death of her husband in an aircraft accident. She is seen travelling through the lush and verdant landscapes of the DRC in a car as she’s heard in voiceover asking: “Where is my husband? People don’t just walk away from a plane crash. They don’t just fall out of the sky and carry on with their lives.” As the trailer unfolds, we see a broken Georgia told that she needs to let go of her husband and accept his death. Georgia keeps going as it emerges that her husband could have survived and may have faked his own death - but to what ends remains unknown. The deeper Georgia gets, the more danger she seems to land herself in but it’s clear she’s not going to give up. She discovers large cash transactions made in her name after the crash and that someone planted a bomb on the plane in which her husband supposedly died. The teaser reaches as climax as Georgia is nearly killed and a series of action-packed shots race across the screen before cutting to black. The Widow will be airing on ITV in 2019 and on Amazon Prime in the US on March 1All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
