“Gripping” Liverpool-set British whodunit series from Line of Duty producers is now on Netflix

by

Today, “The Gathering”, a captivating British mystery series, is now streaming on Netflix. Hailing from the same production house that brought us the critically acclaimed police drama Line of Duty and the compelling thriller Vigil, featuring Suranne Jones, originally premiered on Channel 4 in 2024.

In the ensemble of “The Gathering,” we find Warren Brown, known for shows like “Luther” and “The Responder”; Vinette Robinson from “Six Four” and “Boiling Point”; Christine Tremarco, who has been in productions such as “Adolescence” and “Little Boy Blue”; Eva Morgan, star of “This City Is Ours”; Sadie Soverall, recognized for her role in “Fate: The Winx Saga”; and Sonny Walker, also a cast member of “The Responder.

As a devoted admirer, I’m eager to share my excitement about the drama I recently came across – a captivating thriller penned by the brilliant novelist and screenwriter Helen Walsh, marking her debut original screenplay for television. This gripping masterpiece has been aptly described by Channel 4 as a “thrilling rollercoaster.” The intriguing logline on its streaming platform reads: “A brutal assault on a teenager at an illicit beach rave sends ripples of suspicion through the Merseyside community. As veils are lifted to reveal secrets and deceptions, will the truth ultimately prevail?” Can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!

The movie titled “The Gathering” was shot and based on locations like Liverpool and the surrounding areas of Merseyside. It’s also known for being “a mystery story – more specifically, in this instance, an ‘inquiry into motive’.

The drama’s marketing suggests that the narrative revolves around a diverse group of teens and their parents, each having a reason or motivation for the assault. Each episode provides a unique perspective from one character, shedding light on the lives of these teenagers and their families. This allows viewers to ponder who might have perpetrated the crime.

Although it was popular when initially broadcasted, The Gathering failed to secure a follow-up season.

A Channel 4 representative shared that they are extremely proud of “The Gathering” and all it has accomplished. The show highlighted local voices, both in front of and behind the camera, and received widespread acclaim for its accurate portrayal of Liverpool and the surrounding areas.

The most recent addition to Netflix’s lineup includes shows like “Plebs”, an ITV sitcom, the popular BBC series “Normal People” set in Ireland, and the period drama “Mrs Biggs” starring Sheridan Smith and Daniel Mays.

The Gathering is available to watch on Channel 4 and Netflix.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy, featuring the concert ‘Oasis – Live in ’25’, is available now! You can purchase it at local newsstands or online, with a special offer price of only £8.99.
