His next project, Fear, is based on Dirk Kurbjuweit’s German bestseller and co-stars Anjli Mohindra (The Lazarus Project).

Fear

A three-part psychological thriller, Fear tells the story of a family who leave London for a fresh start. Martyn (Compston) and Rebecca (Mohindra) move into a beautiful house in Glasgow with their two young children.

At first the new home seems idyllic, but when neighbour Jan (Solly McLeod) makes unnerving comments to Rebecca it turns out to be the start of something far more intimidating.
