What happens

Residue is a British science fiction supernatural horror miniseries created and written by John Harrison and directed by Alex García López. The first series, which consists of three episodes of 44 minutes each, entirely premiered on 31 March 2015 on the streaming service Netflix. Residue revolves around the aftermath of an explosion in an English futuristic metropolis nightclub and the unreliable quarantine zone built by the government, who is hiding what is really happening inside it. In the meantime, a photojournalist (portrayed by Natalia Tena) stumbles upon paranormal events triggered either by or after the bombing. In 2015 producer Charlotte Walls stated that there were plans for a 10-episodes second season, for which Netflix would have the exclusive option. As of 2018, there has been no further news.
