Riptide Channel 5 start time, full cast list and how many episodes
Actress Jo Joyner is making her return to Channel 5 this week in another gripping psychological thriller. Hot on the heels of Little Disasters, which the broadcaster screened over the past fortnight, the EastEnders star will appear on television screens once more in Riptide.
If Riptide rings a bell, that's because the four-part drama originally premiered on Channel 5 in 2022 and attracted a strong audience. The series ran for a week during the festive period, beginning on December 27. Nevertheless, viewers are in for a treat when the thriller makes its comeback this week, broadcasting across four consecutive evenings on Channel 5.
