One summer evening, every person inside the small English village of Midwich suddenly and inexplicably falls unconscious. As they recover from the devastating effects of the blackout, a horrifying discovery is made. Something deeply disturbing and supernatural has taken root - and the idyllic town will never be the same again. From the Emmy-nominated creator of The Night Manager, this "brilliantly compelling mystery" (Daily Mirror) starring Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) is based on the iconic John Wyndham novel that inspired John Carpenter's chilling film adaptation.
