From the co-creator of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, BBC One’s new supernatural drama The Living and the Dead will launch later this month.

The six-part series stars Colin Morgan (Merlin, Humans) and Charlotte Spencer (Glue), and is directed by Alice Troughton (Merlin, In the Flesh).

Set in Somerset in 1894, the first episode of The Living and the Dead will air on Tuesday 28 June on BBC One.

The official synopsis reads: “When a pioneering Victorian psychologist brings his vivacious young wife to live on his family’s estate, he is confronted by one disturbing case after another. Are these strange events linked merely by coincidence, or is there something more sinister – more supernatural – going on at Shepzoy?”
