PASSENGER: FIRST LOOK IMAGES AND TRAILER FOR NEW ITV DRAMA

A close-knit community in the small Northern village of Chadder Vale is sent spinning on its axis following a series of strange and unnatural crimes.

After arriving there five years ago, former Met Police detective Riya Ajunwa (Wunmi Mosaku, Loki, Damilola, Our Loved Boy, Lovecraft Country) has been searching for that ‘one big crime’, that one challenge that will make her feel alive again.

When local girl Katie Wells (Rowan Robinson, So Awkward) is mysteriously abducted one night, her car is found abandoned and there are traces of blood on the seats - however, the village barely has time to register Katie’s disappearance before she reappears the next day safe and sound.

The rest of the villagers ask few questions and life resumes as normal, but for Riya - a relative outsider to the Chadder Vale way of life - none of this sits right.

As a series of strange happenings and increasingly horrific crimes start unfolding within the village, the residents start resorting to short-sighted theories and blaming outside influences - Riya fights hard to convince the villagers that all is not as it seems, and before long she is drawn into a universe unlike anything she has ever seen.
