The Gathering.

Channel 4's "gritty" crime drama, The Gathering, which comes from World Productions, the team behind Line of Duty, is set to land on Netflix UK on August 25. The six-part mystery thriller, set on Merseyside, follows a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave. The show focuses on a group of teens and their parents, each of whom could have committed the crime. The series, which aired earlier this year on Channel 4, was well-received by critics for its "compelling" story and "authentic" performances. It's a must-watch for fans of crime dramas.

We spent the first half of last month on this, enjoyed the job and we’re hoping it’s decent to watch.

Absolutely loved filming last weeks’s barn fire sequence for Emmerdale.

Great Production crew, Design, Stunts, Director, Armourer, etc. and of course our SFX Team.

Have a lot of love for this show, our company has worked on it on and off since it began filming over 50 years and when I first started working with my Dad (Ian), I did a lot of learning on set at Emmerdale. Always nice to be back!

This trailer doesn't give too much away but I'm keen to see this. Script was fairly wild. Shoot was bitter cold.
