“The series is a raucous, racy, retro 80’s throwback that blends laugh-out loud comedy with compelling horror-themed drama,” the BBC explains.

The six-part drama, which was written by Hugh Travers, has been produced by Ireland’s Deadpan Pictures and filmed at locations across the island of Ireland.

Justin Daniels Anene and Cal O’Donnell (Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale) and Leia Murphy (Fair City) head up the cast as Billy, Con and Leia respectively.

They are joined by Irish stars Simone Kirby (His Dark Materials), Valerie O’Connor (Red Rock) and Declan Rodgers (Shooting for Socrates).
