What are people saying about Passenger?

“I feel very lucky and very flattered [that ITV has] gone with these scripts and I’m going to work my backside off to make them the best they can be,” says Buchan.

“I’ve always loved shows where the known collides with the unknown… where you see communities faced with something horrifying and inexplicable, where, as a viewer, you’ve nothing in your kit-bag to explain it.

“When I started writing the scripts, I wanted to create something epic and unknown but also bed it somewhere close to home. Having grown up in Lancashire it felt like the perfect place for it. We’ll definitely see the residents of Chadder Vale pushed to their limits.”

When and where can we watch Passenger?

Filming has only just begun on the six-episode series in Cornholme, north of Manchester, so we don’t have a release date just yet.

We do know, though, that Passenger will be an ITVX premiere and will also air on ITV1. The drama will be available in BritBox international markets at a later date.
