The Dark

Chilling serial killer drama The Dark, starring Laura Donnelly and Mark Rowley on ITV. The series is adapted for television from GR Halliday’s debut novel, From the Shadows by Matt Hartley and Nessah Murthy.

Produced by Matt Brown, Exec Ben Stephenson at Poison Pen Productions. 

Shot in the mighty Scotland. 

The Guardian Lucy Mangan: “This gothic crime drama is so icily creepy it’s practically a heatwave antidote. […] A cold finger of dread will run up your spine as you watch this tale of a Highlands murder investigation. It’s stylish, fun and chilling.”

The Independent Annabel Nugent: “ITV’s terrifying cop show has pitch-black levels of grimness. With twisted motives and brutal killings, ITV’s latest outing scratches the detective drama itch.”

The Times called it “gloomy Tartan noir”, while The Telegraph said: “This is a grim drama. It leans more towards horror than police procedural. There is no gore but the tone is horribly creepy.”
