If you loved the psychological drama and revenge elements of Wilderness, then the BBC’s latest thriller is definitely one to watch out for. A new four-part psychological thriller, Dead And Buried will explore obsession and dark fantasies around revenge, looking at just how far one person will go to get answers.

Hot off her 2023 thriller The Serial Killer’s Wife, Annabel Scholey will star as one of the leads in this new BBC series. So, here’s everything to know about Dead And Buried, including when we can expect the series to land on our screens.

What’s the plot of Dead And Buried?

Outside the supermarket with her young son, Cathy (played by Scholey) encounters Michael (Colin Morgan), the man convicted of murdering 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, while she grieved for her brother.

“Retraumatised 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,” reads the synopsis.
