Until I Kill You (working title Delia Balmer) is a four-part British true crime miniseries written by Nick Stevens and directed by Julia Ford, based on Delia Balmer's autobiographical book Living with a Serial Killer (2017).
She lived for several years in a relationship with a carpenter called John Sweeney, who later became physically abusive, including hitting and sexually assaulting her in a degrading manner.
Later, after she had reported him to police and changed the locks on her doors, and he was out on bail after being arrested, he attempted to murder her outside her home, leaving her with extensive injuries and close to death after a neighbour had beaten Sweeney off.
The four-part drama, based on Balmer's book, would be penned by Nick Stevens, directed by Julia Ford, and produced by Ken Horn for World Productions.
