Now that we’ve finally seen a preview of Passenger, the six-part ITV series is going to take us on a terrifying journey! First-look images suggest that the “darkly comic horror” film, which has been in the works for a while, will be well worth the wait. It centers on a string of bizarre and supernatural crimes in a tiny, close-knit town.
Actor Andrew Buchan (Broadchurch, An Honourable Woman) wrote the screenplay for Passenger, which stars BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku as the former detective at the center of the case. This is Buchan’s first attempt at scripting.

Plot For Passenger
An ITVX statement reads as follows:… “A succession of peculiar and supernatural occurrences upends the equilibrium of a tightly knit community in the small village of Chadder Vale, located in the north.” “Since her arrival there five years ago, former Metropolitan Police Detective Riya Ajunwa has been in pursuit of the “one major crime”—a formidable challenge that will restore her sense of vitality.

“One evening, Katie Wells, a local girl, is abducted mysteriously.” The cushions of her abandoned vehicle are stained with blood stains. However, the village is hardly able to document Katie’s disappearance before she reappears safely the following day.
“After a few brief inquiries from the remaining villagers, life returns to normal.” However, this does not set well with Riya, who is a relative outsider to the Chadder Vale way of life. As an escalating sequence of peculiar occurrences and abhorrent crimes transpire within the municipality, the inhabitants resorted to pessimistic speculations and placed the blame on external factors, including the manager of the fracturing site, Jim Bracknell (portrayed by David Threlfall).
“As circumstances become more peculiar, the populace resists Riya’s irrational claim that something is amiss in this municipality. However, what precisely do they fear? Riya is eventually entangled in a universe that is unlike anything she has ever before witnessed.
