Dungarees? Camcorders? Ah, such simple times!

Not quite. This show is part of the current trend of teen dramas that grown-ups will also love (see 13 Reasons Why, Pretty Little Liars and Riverdale). It'll lull you into a false sense of security with lashings of nostalgia, before laying on the creepy factor thick and fast. Let’s just say that, within the first 20 minutes of Dead Of Summer, someone’s already dead and absolutely no one can be trusted.
 

Who’s behind this genre-buster, then?

Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, who previously worked together on Lost and Once Upon A Time, created the show.

So, it’s Lost goes to summer camp?

You’re on the right lines. Horowitz and Kitsis have brought back the Lost device of weaving the tale to include flashbacks from characters’ earlier lives. And Elizabeth Mitchell – who plays Dr Juliet Burke in Lost and also stars in The Purge: Election Year – is camp director, Deb.
 

Any other familiar faces?

Look out for Mark Indelicato (Ugly Betty), Eli Goree (The 100), Charles Mesure (Desperate Housewives), Andrew J West (The Walking Dead) and Zachary Gordon (Diary Of A Wimpy Kid).
 

I’m in!

Of course you are! All this chit chat has got us thinking about campfires, singalongs, toasted marshmallows and talent contests. But is there more to American summer camp traditions than this? Here’s our guide to making the most of camp, as learned from our favourite movies and TV shows.
