What happens

Passenger is a British dark comedy-thriller television series created by Andrew Buchan in his screenwriting debut. It premiered on ITV1 and ITVX in the United Kingdom before airing on ITV on 24 March 2024. Set in the fictional northern village of Chadder Vale, the series follows Riya Ajunwa, a former Metropolitan Police officer who relocates from Manchester to care for her mother-in-law, and becomes entangled in a local investigation that exposes tensions within the tight-knit community. The series stars Wunmi Mosaku and David Threlfall in the lead roles, with a supporting cast including Daniel Ryan, Jo Hartley, Barry Sloane, Natalie Gavin, and Nico Mirallegro. Commissioned by ITV and BritBox International in March 2022, the six-episode series was produced by Sister and Northern Sister, with Jane Featherstone and Lucy Dyke serving as executive producers. Principal photography took place in the West Yorkshire village of Cornholme. The show was not renewed for a second season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
