A new drama thriller aired on Channel 4 earlier this week, titled The Gathering.
Created by the team behind Line Of Duty, the series follows a group of teenagers from different backgrounds who all become suspects in an assault case after a girl is attacked at a Merseyside rave.
The drama, which aired on Tuesday (May 14) stars Saltburn’s Sadie Soverall, newcomer Eva Morgan, Vinette Robinson of Sherlock and Boiling Point fame, and Richard Coyle, best known for playing Aberforth Dumbledore in 2022’s Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore.
The six-episode series was executive produced by Line Of Duty’s Simon Heath, and was directed by Gareth Bryn, known for directing episodes of Last Tango In Halifax, Line Of Duty and Hidden, and The Windsors director Amanda Blue.
The series has received critical acclaim upon its release, with The Guardian praising “some fine performances – especially from Morgan as Kelly, with her poignant blend of brashness and vulnerability, and Soverall, who never lets Jess descend into spoiled-little-rich-girl territory.”
The Standard, which also praised the “killer performances” and called it a “deftly-told exploration of being a teen in the digital era” praised the series’ soundtrack. They wrote: “With a fun, aggressively trendy soundtrack that samples everything from Liverpudlian rap to George FitzGerald, it’s tailor-made for Gen Z, but its lessons go far further than that.”
