The ITV drama will see the family as they navigate a complicated and foreign legal system as well as scrutiny from the press and fellow holiday-makers in their bid to return home together.
Speaking about her return to the channel and playing the lead role, Sheridan, 39, said: ‘I was thrilled to be asked to play Kathy in this exciting production and to be at ITV again.
“Can’t wait to start filming on this thrilling, complex story about a family finding their way through a terrifying situation.”

He said of the programme: “No Return is truly a passion project for me.
“It’s the story of a family caught in a modern nightmare but it allows us to explore themes of parenthood, justice, addiction and consent.”
Joining Danny from his previous show The Stranger are series director Hannah Quinn and executive producers Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee.
At the moment there is no release date for the exciting drama but the production is expected to begin in summer 2021.
