“The hum is not your enemy!” Or is it? BBC has revealed the trailer for a mystery thriller series called The Listeners, which will be streaking in the UK later this month. No US date is set yet – hopefully soon. Not to be confused with the mystery thriller movie called The Watchers from this summer or Steve Buscemi’s film The Listener. The Listeners tells the story of Claire, a teacher, who begins to hear a low humming sound and finds support from others who can hear it. What is this sound? Where is it coming from? Even doctors have no idea. BBC describes it as “enigmatic, provocative, and haunting” and says it will explore “the seduction of the wild & unknowable, the human search for the transcendent, the rise of conspiracy culture in the West, and the desire for community & connection in our increasingly polarised times.” Starring Rebecca Hall as Claire, with Ollie West, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Amr Waked, Gayle Rankin, Mia Tharia, Franc Ashman, Samuel Edward-Cook, and Karen Henthorn. This looks super creepy, even moreso because of who might take advantage of her as she loses her grip due to this hum. This trailer will make you curious.
Here’s the official trailer for Jordan Tannahill’s series The Listeners, direct from BBC’s YouTube:
“Can you hear the hum?” Claire (Rebecca Hall), a school teacher, begins to hear a low humming in her ears. Nobody else can hear the noise, which starts becoming disruptive to her professional and private life. This seemingly innocuous noise gradually upsets the balance of her life, increasing tension between herself and her husband, Paul, and daughter, Ashley – and despite multiple doctors, no obvious source or medical cause can be found. When a student of hers, Kyle (Ollie West), claims he can also hear the sound, the two strike up an unlikely and intimate friendship. The Listeners is a series created and written by Canadian writer Jordan Tannahill, writer of many other plays as well. Adapted from Tannahill’s book of the same name. Featuring episodes directed by filmmaker Janicza Bravo, director of the film Zola and eps of many other TV series. Made by BBC Studios & Element Pictures. Executive produced by Bravo, Tannahill, Rebecca Ferguson, Alice Birch, Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Chelsea Morgan Hoffmann, Rachel Dargavel. BBC debuts The Listeners series streaming on iPlayer starting November 19th, 2024 this month. Anyone interested?
