BBC Headed Out to Sea for Upcoming Horror-Comedy Series “Wrecked”; Brutal Kills Promised!

The U.K.’s BBC Three has ordered up a horror-comedy project titled “Wrecked,” Variety reports today, a six-part series that comes courtesy of Fremantle’s Euston Films.

Variety details, “The six-part series is set aboard a mega cruise ship. It follows 19-year-old new recruit Jamie as he joins the crew in search of his missing sister.”

“She was working aboard the same vessel on a previous tour and never made it home. Jamie is initiated into cruise life and gets a crash course on the teen tribes within the staff who party hard and remain oblivious to the bloodthirsty murders taking place on board. Jamie is forced to turn detective and uncover the sinister truth.”

Ryan J. Brown, the writer of “Wrecked,” said in a statement shared by Variety, “In Wrecked, the kills are brutal, the laughs are loud, and the heartfelt moments land with real candor. I wanted to create a piece of genre entertainment that had the savvy teen sharpness of Scream, the unsettling atmosphere of The Shining and the strange upstairs, downstairs mythology of Cabin in the Woods. At its core, Wrecked is a tense coming-of-age story about a lost, gay kid from Sheffield propelled into uncharted waters of escalating paranoia and self-discovery.”
