The First Look at Paramount+ Thriller 'The Burning Girls' Is Dark and Atmospheric
After a fairly slow start, streaming service Paramount+'s long-awaited raft of British content is finally beginning to arrive on screens around the world. Prestige heist drama The Gold (finally) premiered in the U.S. earlier this month and Sexy Beast is set to arrive later this year. Crime drama The Killing Kind recently aired in the U.K., and will likely come to America in the not too distant future. And next up is the dark thriller The Burning Girls, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by C.J. Tudor that features ghosts both figurative and literal.
(And no small amount of extremely creepy homemade dolls that may or may not be meant as protective magic.)
The Burning Girls follows the story of a village haunted by its dark and turbulent history, which involves multiple disturbing deaths and disappearances The series stars Samantha Morton (The Serpent Queen) as Reverend Jack Brooks, a single parent struggling to overcome a personal tragedy and looking for a fresh start with her daughter in a small town called Chapel Croft. But the insular village has secrets of its own and attempting to discover the truth about its bloody past comes with very real present-day dangers.
