BBC has released the trailer for an upcoming mystery thriller series titled The Listeners, which stars Rebecca Hall as a teacher, who starts to hear a low humming sound that starts to disrupt her life.
In the story, “Nobody else can hear the noise, which starts becoming disruptive to her professional and private life. This seemingly innocuous noise gradually upsets the balance of her life, increasing tension between herself and her husband, Paul, and daughter, Ashley – and despite multiple doctors, no obvious source or medical cause can be found.
“When a student of hers, Kyle (Ollie West), claims he can also hear the sound, the two strike up an unlikely and intimate friendship.”
The show is described as “enigmatic, provocative, and haunting” show that will explore “the seduction of the wild & unknowable, the human search for the transcendent, the rise of conspiracy culture in the West, and the desire for community & connection in our increasingly polarised times.”
The Listeners is created and written by Jordan Tannahill and it also stars Prasanna Puwanarajah, Amr Waked, Gayle Rankin, Mia Tharia, Franc Ashman, Samuel Edward-Cook, and Karen Henthorn.
The Listeners is now available to watch. It looks like it will tell a pretty creepy story.
