The BBC has unveiled the first trailer for The Listeners, an intriguing new mystery thriller series created and written by Jordan Tannahill. Based on Tannahill’s own novel of the same name, the series promises to delve into the unsettling psychological tension that arises when an ordinary woman begins to hear a sound that nobody else can. The Listeners stars the talented Rebecca Hall in a gripping role, alongside Ollie West, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Amr Waked, Gayle Rankin, Mia Tharia, Franc Ashman, Samuel Edward-Cook, and Karen Henthorn.
In The Listeners, Hall plays Claire, a schoolteacher whose life begins to unravel when she starts hearing a mysterious, low humming sound in her ears. At first, the noise seems harmless, but it gradually becomes an intrusive presence in Claire's life, affecting her professional and personal relationships. Despite multiple visits to doctors, no one can pinpoint the cause of the sound, and Claire’s growing frustration and isolation start to strain her marriage with her husband Paul and her relationship with their daughter, Ashley. However, when one of her students, Kyle (played by Ollie West), confides that he can also hear the noise, the two form an unlikely, and increasingly intense, bond that will ultimately lead them down a dark and twisting path.
The trailer teases a slow-burn mystery with eerie undertones, as Claire’s pursuit of answers begins to uncover more than she bargained for. Tensions rise as the line between reality and paranoia blurs, leading Claire to question her own mind, her relationships, and her sanity. The series promises a deep exploration of isolation, mental health, and the fear of the unknown, with Rebecca Hall’s stellar performance anchoring the psychological drama at its core.
Directed by the talented Janicza Bravo, whose work is known for its sharp and distinctive storytelling, The Listeners is produced by BBC Studios and Element Pictures. The series is set to stream on iPlayer starting November 19, 2024, offering viewers a tense and thought-provoking experience as Claire’s mystery unfolds.
With its compelling premise and standout performances, The Listeners is shaping up to be a must-watch thriller for fans of psychological mysteries and character-driven suspense. As the series draws closer to its release, the trailer has already piqued the interest of viewers eager to dive into its atmospheric world of uncertainty and intrigue.
