A new TV thriller from the producers of the hit BBC police procedural Line Of Duty is coming to screens this week. The Gathering, on Channel 4, promises to shock and intrigue across its six episodes, starting tonight (Tuesday) at 9pm.
The series centres around a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave on a tidal islet. Set on Merseyside, the drama focuses on a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed the crime, along with their parents - who give equal cause for suspicion.
As well as Line of Duty, The Gathering's production company World Productions - part of ITV Studios - also worked on Save Me and Vigil. Here's all you need to know about your new TV obsession.

Set in Merseyside, The Gatherine follows the events of a violent attack during a rave on a tidal islet. The victim, a teenage girl called Kelly, straddles two very different worlds of teens portrayed in the series.
Kelly is an accomplished tumbling gymnast, well on the pathway to Team GB but at odds with her teammates and their ultra-competitive parents. By contrast, Kelly also rolls with a group of urban free-runners, whose reckless lifestyle and exuberant free-spirit are at odds with the discipline and restrictions Kelly experiences in the tightly controlled world of competitive sport.
The Gathering examines the intertwined sex lives, loyalties and rivalries of a group of teens. It asks how they can negotiate their sense of identity and freedom in the face of surveillance parenting.
The full boxset of six episodes will be available to stream tonight (May 14) from midnight. If you're watching it on Channel 4, the
