Paramount+ reveal first look at The Burning Girls

A set of spine-chilling images have been unveiled today by Paramount+ ahead of the upcoming horror-thriller series The Burning Girls.

Set in Chapel Croft, a village haunted by a dark and turbulent history the drama sees Reverend Jack Brooks (Samantha Morton) and her daughter Flo (Ruby Stokes)  arrive in the hope of a fresh start. They soon find a village rife with conspiracies and secrets where uncovering the truth can be deadly in a community with a bloody past.

Samantha Morton:

“I was immediately drawn to this character-led script, brought to life by a wonderfully talented and dedicated cast. On the surface The Burning Girls is about community, but underneath it’s every man for themselves. Untangling this intricate web was an absolute thrill.”

Morton’s character Jack is a single parent haunted by a tragedy from her previous church and who bears the onus of her husband’s death, while her 15-year-old daughter Flo is a teenager who marches to the beat of her own drum.

The images were taken at locations in the South of England, where The Burning Girls was filmed late last year.

Ruby Stokes:

“It was a pleasure working with such a talented and dedicated cast and crew. A personal highlight; playing opposite Sam whom I greatly admire.”

Alongside Morton and Stokes, the series also features Conrad Khan as Lucas Wrigley, a mysterious alternative teen who Flo befriends in the series. Other actors featuring in the series include: Paul Bradley, Janie Dee, Jane Lapotaire, John Macmillan, Rupert Graves, Elodie Grace Orkin, Safia Oakley-Green, Beth Cordingly, David Dawson, Jack Roth and Mollie Holder.

Based on the novel of the same name by C.J Tudor and adapted by Hans Rosenfeldt, the series will air exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK later this year.
