Gabrielle Creevy and Michael Socha star in The Witch Farm, a ghost story and mystery set in the Welsh countryside coming soon to BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Written by Danny Robins, the creator of BBC paranormal podcast Uncanny, the series is inspired by first-hand accounts, theories and real events explored in his original BBC podcast of the same name.

South Wales, 1989. Bill (Socha), Liz (Creevy) and their teenage son Jonathan (Lewin Lloyd) leave London for Heol Fanog, a remote modern farmhouse in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, determined to make a fresh start. At first, the isolation feels like freedom. But when frightening, inexplicable things begin to happen around the house and a strange figure begins to appear, the family starts to feel increasingly scared.

What follows is a steady escalation of the chillingly uncanny – unexplained disturbances and an unsettling sense that they are not alone. As Bill and Liz begin to investigate, the house draws them deeper into a history that refuses to stay buried. And as the land yields its secrets, so too does their marriage – testing the limits of trust, belief, and what they’re willing to deny in order to survive.

The cast also includes Sian Gibson, Robert Pugh, Jeremy Swift, Edward Holcroft and Roger Evans.

The Witch Farm is a four-part miniseries written and created by Robins, directed by Stacey Gregg and produced by Megan Ott. The executive producers are Simon Barnard, Stacey Gregg and Danny Robins, James Gandhi and Damien Timmer for Mammoth Screen, and Nawfal Faizullah and Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC.

The series is produced by Mammoth Screen and distributed by ITV Studios.
