Channel 4 has revealed the trailer for Summerwater, an atmospheric new drama based on Sarah Moss's acclaimed novel, set to premiere this November.
The six-part series takes place at a remote loch-side holiday cabin park in the Scottish Highlands. The story unfolds over one rain-soaked summer day, where what seems like a typical getaway slowly turns into a haunting exploration of modern Britain.
Each episode presents a different viewpoint, interweaving the intimate lives of families and couples sharing the same wild surroundings. The narrative includes restless children, quarrelsome parents, lonely lovers, and reflective pensioners.
Described as a thrilling and compulsive study of nature, class, family and the pursuit of fleeting happiness, the drama explores the bonds and fractures that define community in divided times.
Summerwater captures how fragile civility becomes when both the weather and tempers remain unsettled, portraying an unflinching yet empathetic picture of contemporary tensions.
This drama offers a gripping portrayal of human relationships and social divides against the evocative backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
