The series comes from actor Andrew Buchan in his first screenwriting role.
First-look images have been released for new ITVX darkly comic thriller series Passenger, starring Wunmi Mosaku (Loki), David Threlfall (Shameless) and Rowan Robinson (So Awkward).
The series comes from Andrew Buchan (Better) in his first screenwriting role. The series is set in the fictional small Northern town of Chadder Vale, and follows former Met Police detective Riya Ajunwa (Mosaku) as she investigates a series of strange and inexplicable crimes, starting with the disappearance of local girl Katie Wells (Robinson).
She reappears the next day, apparently safe and sound, but as a series of increasingly shocking crimes start unfolding within the town, the residents resort to short-sighted theories and blame outside influences such as the fracking site and its manager Jim Bracknell (Threlfall).
In the first-look images, Riya is seen investigating in a snowy landscape, while Jim appears against a white backdrop and Katie looks up in the dark, while starting to be sprinkled with snow.
As well as Mosaku, Threlfall and Robinson the series also stars Jo Hartley (After Life), Sean Gilder (The Gold), Debbie Rush (Brassic), Daniel Ryan (The Bay) and Barry Sloane.
