Gabrielle Creevy and Callum Scott Howells will lead The Night They Vanished, a new adaptation of Vanessa Savage’s thriller novel. Creevy plays Anna; Scott Howells plays Cai. BBC Studios’ CliffEdge Entertainment is making the series, which has been pre-bought by Channel 4 in the UK.
What is The Night They Vanished about?
Anna finds her childhood home listed on a true-crime website as the location of her family’s future deaths. Cai, whom she meets on a blind date, runs the site but says he did not post the listing. Those are the story details shared so far; the series has not announced an episode count or release date.

Where will the series be available?
Channel 4 has bought the UK rights, but a premiere date and U.S. distributor have not been announced. That means its eventual U.S. streaming destination is still unknown. The casting and plot details came from an interview with BBC Studios’ scripted chief Jamie Hall.
