The hit paranormal podcast "The Witch Farm" is set to become a four-part BBC drama series, produced by Mammoth Screen. Written by Danny Robins, creator of "2:22 - A Ghost Story," the series features Gabrielle Creevy and Michael Socha in the lead roles.
The drama centers on Bill and Liz Rich, who relocate from London to a remote farmhouse in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales during 1989. Their quest for a fresh start is overshadowed by increasingly chilling and unexplained events, beginning with a ghostly apparition during a traumatic home birth.
As the disturbances escalate, the couple finds themselves drawn into the house's buried history. The investigation into the land's secrets parallels a deepening strain on their marriage, challenging their trust, beliefs, and their capacity to survive the unfolding terror.
While "The Witch Farm" draws inspiration from real events, theories, and witness accounts, the BBC adaptation will incorporate creative changes for dramatic effect. Filming is scheduled to commence soon, promising a supernatural thriller described as a dark detective story and an emotional rollercoaster.
