Created and written by Ryan J. Brown, the horror-comedy “Wrecked” is coming soon from BBC Three, a slasher set aboard a cruise ship. Today BBC Three has released a brand new image gallery previewing the series, giving us a first look at the slasher maniac.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well, it might want to kill you…
“Wrecked” is being described as a tense thriller, mixing comedy with a slice of slasher, set aboard The Sacramentum cruise ship. The series follows 20-year-old new recruit, Jamie, as he infiltrates the 3000 strong crew in a desperate race to find his missing sister.
“She was working aboard the same vessel on a previous tour and vanished mid charter. Jamie is initiated into cruise life and gets a crash course on the tribes within the staff: the theatre kids, the mafias and the low-paid workers. For this overworked and underpaid crew, life below deck can be an odyssey of partying and excess… and they remain oblivious to the bloodthirsty murders taking place on board. Jamie is forced to turn detective and uncover the sinister truth.”
The cast includes Oscar Kennedy (“Ladhood”) as Jamie, Thaddea Graham (“The Irregulars”) as Vivian, Jack Rowan (“Noughts + Crosses”) as Danny, Harriet Webb (“I May Destroy You”) as Karen, Jodie Tyack (“The Window”) as Pippa, Louis Boyer as Sam, Anthony Rickman as Olly, Amber Grappy as Lauren, Diego Andres as Jerome, Peter Claffey as Cormac, Miya Ocego as Rosie, Warren James Dunning as Beaker, Ramanique Ahluwalia as Lily and Alice Nokes as Sophia.
Chris Baugh (Boys from County Hell) has directed and executive produced all six episodes.
The series will premiere at London’s Fright Fest on August 26th. Tickets can be purchased here. The series will launch on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer later this autumn.
