Netflix landed U.S. and international rights to “Red Rose”, the BBC horror drama created by identical twins Michael and Paul Clarkson, who have worked on shows including “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “See”, Deadline reports.
“The series follows a group of British students as they discover the sinister Red Rose app, which encourages them to undertake a set of increasingly dangerous challenges.
“One of the group, Rochelle Jackson, downloads the app and sets in motion is a series of events that brings together the friends to tackle a seemingly supernatural entity.”
Although set in the British town of Bolton, “Red Rose” is said to take inspiration from genre thrillers like Get Out and Scream.
Originally commissioned by youth channel BBC Three last year, production begins on “Red Rose” from June, with filming taking place around Manchester and Bolton in the UK.
The series comes from The Enfield Haunting producer Eleven Film and eOne. Pictured at the top of this article is a still from The Enfield Haunting, a TV mini-series from 2015.
