When Martyn and Rebecca up sticks for Glasgow, they think they’ve finally managed to escape London, two young children in tow. However, when new neighbour Jen makes unsettling remarks to Rebecca, the couple start to question if the fresh start is as idyllic as they first thought.

The show will star Martin Compston (Line of Duty) as Martyn, Anjli Mohindra (The Sarah Jane Adventures) as Rebecca and Solly McLeod as Jan (The Dead Don’t Hurt).

Rounding out the cast are James Cosmo (Game of Thrones), Anneika Rose (Line of Duty), Daniel Portman (Black Mirror), Maureen Beattie (Our House) and Bhav Joshi (The Diplomat).

Filming has begun in Glasgow on the programme, which is produced by Wild Mercury, a division of Banijay UK known for supernatural thriller The Rig. The show is written by Mick Ford (After the Flood) and directed by Justin Chadwick (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), based on the book by Dirk Kurbjuweit.

Fear will be available on Prime Video in 2025.
