Things currently available include top-rated shows such as Passenger, A Spy Among Friends, The Victim and Trigger Point.
Along with the free service, ITVX also offers a premium option. This costs £4.99 per month and includes extra things to watch such as hundreds of movies.
It also offers the option to download content onto devices to watch when away from Wi-Fi or a mobile signal.
ITVX Premium is free for the first 7 days so you can give it a try before you buy. Even if you do sign up there's no long-term contract and you can leave at any time.
