What is The Witch Farm

From the announcement:

South Wales, 1989. Bill and Liz Rich leave London for Heol Fanog, a remote modern farmhouse in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, determined to make a fresh start. At first, the isolation feels like freedom. But when, in the midst of a traumatic home birth, Liz becomes convinced she’s seen a ghostly figure in the bedroom they start to feel increasingly afraid…

What follows is a steady escalation of the chillingly uncanny – unexplained disturbances and an unsettling sense that they are not alone. As Bill and Liz begin to investigate, the house draws them deeper into a history that refuses to stay buried. And as the land yields its secrets, so too does their marriage — testing the limits of trust, belief, and what they’re willing to deny in order to survive.

The Witch Farm is inspired by the real events, theories and first-hand accounts explored in Danny’s original podcast of the same name. In this four-part TV drama retelling some characters, elements and chronologies have been created or changed for dramatic purposes. Filming is due to begin soon.

It stars Gabrielle Creevy (The Guest, Black Doves) and Michael Socha (Showtrial, What It Feels Like For A Girl). It is written by Danny Robins – creator of hit BBC paranormal podcast and TV series Uncanny, docudrama podcast The Battersea Poltergeist and the West End play turned global phenomenon 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
