Channel 4 has picked up a new six-part drama currently titled The Gathering from the acclaimed writer and director Helen Walsh.
Set on Merseyside, the drama focuses on a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed a crime, along with their parents – who give equal cause for suspicion. The series is produced by the award-winning World Productions, which is responsible for hits such as the BBC’s Line of Duty, Save Me, and Vigil.
“We are thrilled to be working with the brilliant Helen Walsh and World Productions on this exciting series; The Gathering which forms part of our strategy to commission drama which also appeals to younger viewers,” said Caroline Hollick, Head of Drama, Channel 4.
