The BBC has officially released the first teaser trailer for The Witch Farm, an upcoming four-part drama that combines ghost story lore with psychological mystery. Set and filmed in the Welsh countryside, the series stars Gabrielle Creevy (The Guest, Black Doves) and Michael Socha (The Cage, Showtrial).
Premise and Setting: A 1989 Welsh Countryside Mystery
Set in South Wales in 1989, the narrative follows Bill (Michael Socha), Liz (Gabrielle Creevy), and their teenage son Jonathan (Lewin Lloyd) as they leave London behind to start anew. The family moves into Heol Fanog, a remote modern farmhouse nestled in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons.
While the rural isolation initially offers a sense of freedom, unsettling events quickly begin to unfold. Unexplained disturbances and the emergence of a strange figure around the property spark growing fear within the household. As Bill and Liz investigate the uncanny occurrences, the house forces them to confront a sinister local history. The escalating pressure tests their marriage, challenging their beliefs, trust, and survival limits.
