Set in the fictional small Northern town of Chadder Vale, Former Met Police Detective Riya Ajunwa (Wunmi Mosaku) investigates a series of strange and inexplicable crimes that have the townsfolk spinning on an axis. Riya arrived in decaying Chadder Vale five years ago and has since been searching for that &#8216;one big crime&#8217;, the challenge that will make her feel alive again. Then one night, local girl Katie Wells (Rowan Robinson) mysteriously disappears. The town barely has time to register her absence before she reappears the next day, apparently safe and sound. The townsfolk ask few questions and normal life resumes. But for Riya, a relative outsider to the Chadder Vale way of life, none of this sits right. As a series of strange happenings and increasingly shocking crimes start unfolding within the town, the residents resort to short-sighted theories and blame outside influences such as the fracking site and its manager Jim Bracknell (David Threlfall). As things become stranger, the people push back on Riya&#8217;s absurd notion that something is not right with this town. But what are they so afraid of?<\/p>\n<p>The six-episode mystery will roll out with two episodes dropping each Thursday until the October 31 finale.<\/p>\n<p>Cast: Wunmi Mosaku (Loki), Barry Sloane (<em>Revenge<\/em>), Rowan Robinson (<em>A Haunting in Venice<\/em>), David Threlfall (<em>Shameless<\/em>), Arian Nik (<em>Count Abdulla<\/em>), Ella Bruccoleri (<em>Call the Midwife<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Creatives: Andrew Buchan (Writer) Nicole Charles (Director), Lee Haven Jones (Director)<\/p><div id=\"morty-409211112\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Executive Producers: Lucy Dyke (Black Mirror), Simon Maloney (I May Destroy You), Jane Featherstone (Chernobyl)<\/p>\n<p><em>Passenger<\/em> is executive produced by Lucy Dyke (<em>The Split, Eric<\/em>) and Simon Maloney (<em>Time, I May Destroy You<\/em>) for Northern Sister, Jane Featherstone (<em>This is Going to Hurt, Chernobyl<\/em>) for SISTER, Reemah Sakaan and Stephen Nye for BritBox International and commissioned for ITVX and ITV1 by ITV&#8217;s Head of Drama, Polly Hill.
