new thriller /spooky drama

Red Rose is set in Bolton during the long, hot summer after GCSEs and follows a group of childhood friends.

Wren (Amelia Clarkson) and Rochelle (Isis Hainsworth) are on the cusp of a summer of fun with their tight-knit gang – including Wren’s crush Noah (Harry Redding) – after finishing their GCSEs.

But when Rochelle downloads a mysterious phone app called Red Rose, it kickstarts a terrifying campaign of dangerous demands, which exposes the friends to a seemingly supernatural force. Who or what is Red Rose?

"Wren and her friends are excited for no school and no rules. It’s set to be a summer with everything ahead of them," says Amelia Clarkson, 24, who’s starred in Poldark and The Last Kingdom.

"But Wren’s romantic interest in Noah causes Rochelle to feel jealous, and the collapse of their friendship is awful timing considering what Rochelle goes through with Red Rose,’ she adds.

‘Rochelle becomes isolated, and the phone itself becomes this kind of phantom amongst the group, which is truly terrifying."

looks good - 8 in all

assume on for 4w - 2 episodes a week

do you mean Rochelle's mother?

they don't say episode 1 what happened to her but they do in episode 2.

the girl/family in the opening sequence aren't linked to any of the later people I don't think. I think the girl there was another who had downloaded the app.

Was it cancer ?

ans yes girl in e1 goes to show that the game is dangerous and sadly seems after Rochelle dying as well they the game either makes them kill theirselves or that their live is so terrible as lose their friends etx that they decide enough is enough 🥲🥲🥲

She committed suicide.

I assume (hope!) that since Wren is doing this with her gang of mates they will get to the bottom of it.

Ohhh that makes sense. I sometimes really struggle with watching things if they're filmed in darkness like that was, I assumed that was Rochelle and her mother but as I said I was in a feverish state!

I think the mother called her something like Alyssa which is how I worked out she had nothing to do with the later group 😂 It wasn't terribly clear.

I think it came up in the conversation Rochelle had with her step dad in the bathroom. Very much a one sentence thing - easily missed.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/08/2022 13:15

Wondering if it coz of the game

or that’s just a red herring

I binge watched the lot. Loved seeing the places where I grew up, I went to school in Bolton so a lot was v familiar too me
Be interesting to see if it was a one off or if they'll do another series
