BritBox International’s upcoming Original limited series, Passenger, will premiere on Thursday, October 17, with the first two episodes available to stream at 9:00 p.m. ET. The six-part mystery series, written by actor and debut screenwriter Andrew Buchan, explores a small Northern town, Chadder Vale, and the strange and inexplicable crimes that disrupt its close-knit community.
The story follows former Met Police Detective Riya Ajunwa, portrayed by Wunmi Mosaku, who investigates the disappearance of local girl Katie Wells, played by Rowan Robinson. When Katie mysteriously reappears, seemingly unharmed, the town quickly returns to normal, but Riya, an outsider, is convinced that something is amiss. As strange events and shocking crimes take place, the residents of Chadder Vale resort to blame outside influences, unwilling to confront their fears and the unknown.
Passenger is directed by Nicole Charles and Lee Haven Jones and executive produced by Lucy Dyke, Simon Maloney, and Jane Featherstone. The series will roll out with two episodes dropping each Thursday until the finale on October 31.
Passenger is executive produced by Lucy Dyke and Simon Maloney for Northern Sister, Jane Featherstone for SISTER, Reemah Sakaan and Stephen Nye for BritBox International. It is commissioned for ITVX and ITV1 by ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill. Andrew Buchan is the creator, writer, and associate producer for SISTER in association with Northern Sister. The series is produced by Sumrah Mohammed and directed by Lee Haven-Jones and Nicole Charles.
