Filming has commenced on a four-part psychological thriller for the BBC, Dead and Buried.

The series will star Annabel Scholey and Colin Morgan alongside Kerri Quinn, Waj Ali, Owen Roe and Niamh Walsh.

Outside the supermarket with her young son, Cathy (Scholey) encounters Michael (Morgan) – the man convicted of the brutal murder of her brother, 20 years earlier. Ignoring the advice of her best friend, Cathy takes to social media, uncovering the successful career and family life Michael has forged for himself since his early release from prison.

Re-traumatised by her past, Cathy instigates a clandestine relationship with the man she despises, embarking on a campaign of harassment and deceit. As Cathy’s obsession grows, dark fantasies of revenge and reality blur as she sets out on a campaign of psychological warfare to destroy Michael’s life.

The thriller will be broadcast on the BBC.
