Airdate: The Pact

Six-part UK thriller The Pact by writer Pete McTighe (Wentworth, Doctor Who, Neighbours, Glitch, Nowhere Boys, The Doctor Blake Mysteries) is now available on Stan.

The series follows the journey of five friends whose relationship is tested in the aftermath of a shocking and unexplained death.

When a young brewery boss is found dead, a chain of events is triggered that draws four of his employees; Anna (Laura Fraser), Nancy (Julie Hesmondhalgh), Louie (Eiry Thomas) and Cat (Heledd Gwynn) into a fragile pact of silence, bound by a secret that will change their lives forever.

Anna’s police officer husband Max (Jason Hughes) investigates Jack’s (Aneurin Bernard) unexpected death alongside his fierce superior DS Holland (Rakie Ayola), unaware that his own wife and her best friends are at the heart of a conspiracy. While brewery worker Tish (Abbie Hern) becomes increasingly suspicious of her co-workers, Jack’s estranged father Arwel (Eddie Marsan) struggles to conceal dark family secrets.
