The “heart-breaking story of a family needing to heal and ghosts who need to be laid to rest”, the three-part series will be “full of scares”.

The cast for the adaptation of James Herbert’s novel also includes Iain De Caestecker (The Fades), Tom Ellis (Miranda), Douglas Henshall (Primeval), David Warner (Wallander), Sarah Smart (Five Days) and Donald Sumpter (Game of Thrones).

Written and directed by Joe Ahearne (Doctor Who), The Secret of Crickley Hall is expected to air at Halloween.

Ahearne commented: “Everyone loves a good ghost story and James Herbert is an iconic writer in the genre. He’s come up with a really thrilling and moving story that delights you while it’s terrifying you. It’s a testament to his craft that we’ve attracted such a great cast to play the characters he created.”
