The Dark(2026)

The Dark is a Scottish crime thriller following Detective Inspector Monica Kennedy as she hunts a serial killer prowling the remote wilderness. When a young man's body surfaces in a tight-knit community, Kennedy races against time to apprehend the murderer before fear and suspicion destroy the fragile bonds holding the village together. The series balances procedural investigation with the psychological toll of hunting a predator in isolation, where every resident becomes a suspect and trust evaporates. Set against bleak Highland landscapes, The Dark explores how violence ripples through small communities where everyone has secrets. Kennedy's determination to stop the killer before another victim falls drives the tension throughout.
