Starz Sets Premiere Date for Drama "The Listeners" Starring Rebecca Hall

Starz has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Listeners starring Rebecca Hall.







The five-part season will begin streaming with weekly releases on Friday, June 12 at midnight on the Starz app, and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. That will be followed by linear releases during primetime on a weekly basis.

Claire (Hall) hears a sound that neither her husband nor her daughter can hear. This seemingly innocuous hum triggers migraines, nosebleeds and insomnia, with no obvious source or medical explanation. After weeks of suffering, the strain starts to fracture her relationships with family, friends and colleagues. When she discovers that a student of hers can also hear the hum, the two strike up an unlikely and intimate friendship that gradually transforms into something more extreme, with devastating consequences.

In addition to Hall, the drama stars Prasanna Puwanarajah, Ollie West, Mia Tharia, Amr Waked, and Gayle Rankin.

Jordan Tannahill developed the drama based on his novel of the same name. He executive produces with Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Chelsea Morgan Hoffmann, Rachel Dargavel, Rebecca Ferguson, Alice Birch and director Janicza Bravo. Fremantle, BBC Studios and Element Pictures produce.
