A new TV thriller from the producers of the hit BBC police procedural Line Of Duty is coming to screens this week. The Gathering, on Channel 4, promises to shock and intrigue across its six episodes, starting tonight (Tuesday) at 9pm.
The series centres around a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave on a tidal islet. Set on Merseyside, the drama focuses on a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed the crime, along with their parents - who give equal cause for suspicion.
As well as Line of Duty, The Gathering's production company World Productions - part of ITV Studios - also worked on Save Me and Vigil. Here's all you need to know about your new TV obsession.

Set in Merseyside, The Gatherine follows the events of a violent attack during a rave on a tidal islet. The victim, a teenage girl called Kelly, straddles two very different worlds of teens portrayed in the series.
Kelly is an accomplished tumbling gymnast, well on the pathway to Team GB but at odds with her teammates and their ultra-competitive parents. By contrast, Kelly also rolls with a group of urban free-runners, whose reckless lifestyle and exuberant free-spirit are at odds with the discipline and restrictions Kelly experiences in the tightly controlled world of competitive sport.
The Gathering examines the intertwined sex lives, loyalties and rivalries of a group of teens. It asks how they can negotiate their sense of identity and freedom in the face of surveillance parenting.
The full boxset of six episodes will be available to stream tonight (May 14) from midnight. If you're watching it on Channel 4, the

CGI movie technology, it is getting harder and harder to deliver that true spine-chilling internal fear that makes horror films so great.Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids may arrogantly scoff at retro scary movies, but it hasn’t always been this way.There was once a time when picture-goers were so viscerally terrified by what they were seeing on the big screen that it would trigger powerful physical reactions right there in the theater.During Jaws (1975) people fainted and vomited in the cinema during some of the gruesome scenes, while others stopped going swimming in the ocean altogether out of pure fear.Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film Psycho (1960) sparked mania during the infamous shower stabbing scene, with reports of people hyperventilating and passing out in their cinema chairs.However, one of the most horrifying movies to ever hit the big screen, causing widespread panic, fear and repulsion, is William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973).Based on William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel, the film follows the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother’s attempt to rescue her through an exorcism by two Catholic priests.With some wildly disturbing scenes, including some bizarre 360 degree head spinning, eerie spider-walking on the stairs and some disgusting projective lime-green vomit, it shocked those 1970s audiences to their core.One particular vulgar scene involving a crucifix — that is too crude to describe here — shocked and upset many, especially considering the percentage of people who were religious back then.The flick was so scary that even renowned Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert was at a loss for words about how it made him feel.“I am not sure exactly what reasons people will have for seeing this movie; surely
