Prime Video’s new three-part psychological thriller, Fear, about a family confronting their worst nightmares, is set to premiere on March 4, 2025, in the UK and Ireland.
Here’s the Lowdown: The series follows Martyn (Martin Compston, Line of Duty) and Rebecca (Anjli Mohindra, Vigil), who move to Glasgow for a fresh start with their children. Their idyllic new life quickly turns sinister when their neighbor, Jan (Solly McLeod), begins making disturbing comments. The situation escalates, leaving the couple feeling helpless and facing terrifying accusations. The cast also includes James Cosmo, Maureen Beattie, Daniel Portman, Anneika Rose and Bhav Joshi.
What This Means Now: Viewers in the UK and Ireland can watch all episodes of Fear exclusively on Prime Video starting March 4, 2025. The series, filmed entirely in Glasgow, is supported by Screen Scotland. A special premiere screening and panel discussion with cast and crew will also take place at the Glasgow Film Festival.
The Bigger Picture: Fear is adapted from a book by Dirk Kurbjuweit, written by Mick Ford, known for After the Flood and The Stranger, and directed by Justin Chadwick, who directed Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The series comes from Wild Mercury and Capricorn Productions, indicating a strong pedigree. The focus on a family facing extreme circumstances, combined with the thriller elements, makes this show an exciting and relevant drama.
