Riverdale meets Stranger Things in this teen horror that’s full of 80s throwback vibes. Mixtapes, dungarees, camcorders, REM songs – they’re all here.
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.
Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, who previously worked together on Lost and Once Upon A Time, created the show.
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.
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).
