Woman in White

4 X 60

Made by Origin Pictures with BBC NI Drama for BBC One.

When Walter Hartright encounters a ghostly woman dressed all in white on a moonlit road, he soon finds himself drawn into a mysterious and disturbing world. Romance, suspense, and danger combine as secrets come to the fore in Wilkie Collins's haunting tale of insanity and identity – viewed by many as the first detective novel, The Woman In White will take viewers on a thrilling ride down the paths and corridors of English country houses and, ultimately, into the depths of the Victorian madhouse. An Origin Pictures production with BBC Northern Ireland.

David Thompson and Ed Rubin, Origin Pictures say: "We are so excited to be bringing a bold new version of Wilkie Collins’ beloved Gothic classic to the screen. His gift for gripping, atmospheric storytelling is as thrilling for contemporary readers as it was for Victorians, and Fiona’s unique take really brings out the intense psychological drama that has captivated so many over the years."

Executive produced by David Thompson and Ed Rubin for Origin Pictures and Stephen Wright, Head of BBC NI Drama for BBC One.
