First look at Line of Duty and Vigil producers' new thriller The Gathering
The series is a new take on the whodunnit genre.
From the producers of Line of Duty and Vigil comes a new thriller series, The Gathering - and RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first look!
The Gathering is a major new whodunnit - or, in this case, a 'why-done-it', as per Channel 4's longline.
Starring Warren Brown (The Responder) as Paul, Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point) as Natalie, Sadie Soverall (Saltburn) as Jessica and newcomer Eva Morgan as Kelly, the series sees the latter's character attacked at an illicit rave, and it soon becomes apparent that each character has a motive for the assault.
Filmed and set in and around Liverpool and Merseyside, each episode shows a different character's lens to give insight into the respective worlds of the various teenagers and their families, giving viewers the chance to speculate on who committed the crime.
As per Channel 4, The Gathering is a series "that leans into the controversial and the provocative".

Other cast members include Richard Coyle (Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore) as Jules, Sonny Walker (The Responder) as Adam, Ryan Quarmby (The Last Kingdom) as Charlie and newcomer Luca Kamleh-Chapman as Bazi.
The official synopsis reads: "Focusing on a group of disparate teenagers and their parents, each character has a motive for attacking Kelly.

"Each episode privileges a different character's lens to give insight into the respective worlds of these teenagers and their families, and allows the viewer to speculate who committed the crime."
There isn't an exact date for when this new show will make its way onto Channel 4, but specific details will be announced by the broadcaster in due course.
