BBC Three Commissions Horror Series Red Rose
BBC Three has ordered RED ROSE, a new horror series written by The Clarkson Twins – Michael and Paul.
The eight-part series was commissioned by Fiona Campbell, Controller of BBC Three and Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama and will be co-produced by Eleven (SEX EDUCATION, THE ENFIELD HAUNTING) and global independent studio Entertainment One, eOne (SHARP OBJECTS).
The story follows a disparate group of teenagers, adrift in the long hot summer following GCSEs, hanging out on the Bolton moors with little sense of direction or purpose now that school is over. Rumours circulate of the Red Rose app, an urban legend that blooms on the smartphones of teenagers, encouraging them to undertake a series of challenges increasingly dangerous in its demands. On the fringes of her group of friends, Rochelle Jackson downloads the mysterious app. What she sets in motion is a series of events that take the town by storm, and bring the friends together to battle the unseen forces of a seemingly supernatural entity.
