Watch the BBC America trailer for new eight-part drama series, Intruders starring John Simm (The Village, Prey) and Mira Sorvino (Norma Jean & Marilyn, Human Trafficking).

Based on the 2007 novel by Michael Marshall, the BBC Worldwide production from writer and executive producer Glen Morgan (The X-Files) is a contemporary, chilling, paranormal drama set in the moody Pacific Northwest.

The story centre’s on Jack Whelan (John Simm), a former LAPD cop with a troubled and violent history, who finds the quiet idyllic life he has crafted with his wife, Amy (Mira Sorvino) shattered when she goes missing. While Jack is consumed with an investigation, which threatens his very core, a sinister Richard Shepherd (James Frain – The White Queen, The Tunnel) – a murderer on a 20-year secret mission who claims to be an FBI agent – embarks on a series of lethal executions.

Meanwhile, a distraught little girl named Madison (Millie Brown) runs away from home into a world of danger.

Intruders begins on BBC America on Saturday 23rd August. Currently there’s been no pick-up in the UK for the drama.
