Hulu welcomes you aboard The MS Sacramentum, a cruise ship destined for horror with a duck masked killer?!
Created and written by Ryan J. Brown, the cruise ship-set horror-comedy “Wreck” premiered last year in the UK on BBC Three. Luckily, it’s finally coming ashore stateside thanks to Hulu.
Season One of Fremantle’s “Wreck” premieres exclusively on the streaming service on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
“Wreck” is being described as a tense thriller, mixing comedy with a slice of slasher, set aboard The MS Sacramentum cruise ship. The series follows 20-year-old new recruit, Jamie, as he infiltrates the 3000 strong crew in a desperate race to find his missing sister.
“She was working aboard the same vessel on a previous tour and vanished mid charter. Jamie is initiated into cruise life and gets a crash course on the tribes within the staff: the theatre kids, the mafias and the low-paid workers. For this overworked and underpaid crew, life below deck can be an odyssey of partying and excess… and they remain oblivious to the bloodthirsty murders taking place on board. Jamie is forced to turn detective and uncover the sinister truth.”
The cast includes Oscar Kennedy (“Ladhood”) as Jamie, Thaddea Graham (“The Irregulars”) as Vivian, Jack Rowan (“Noughts + Crosses”) as Danny, Harriet Webb (“I May Destroy You”) as Karen, Jodie Tyack (“The Window”) as Pippa, Louis Boyer as Sam, Anthony Rickman as Olly, Amber Grappy as Lauren, Diego Andres as Jerome, Peter Claffey as Cormac, Miya Ocego as Rosie, Warren James Dunning as Beaker, Ramanique Ahluwalia as Lily and Alice Nokes as Sophia.
“Wreck” is produced by Chris Martin for Euston Films, part of Fremantle with support from Northern Ireland Screen. It is executive produced by Noemi Spanos for Euston Films and Tommy Bulfin for the BBC.
Chris Baugh (Boys from County Hell) has directed and executive produced all six episodes.
Check out the teaser below and prepare to set sail on March 1.
