It truly is the year of book adaptations as later this year Sky is bringing viewers a brand-new movie, The Radleys, based on the critically acclaimed novel by award-winning author Matt Haig.

This scarily relatable vampire thriller explores the turmoil which follows when we deny our deepest, darkest desires. But far from being another vampire story, this dark drama asks the question “What are you hungry for?”. With an A-List cast which includes Emmy and Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis and Emmy winner Kelly Macdonald, this is one you’re going to want to keep an eye out for.

The official synopsis, as released by Sky, reads:

“Nestled in a quiet, suburban English town live The Radleys. To their neighbours, they are as ordinary as they come, yet beneath the surface, parents Peter (Lewis) and Helen (Macdonald) are concealing a devastatingly dark secret from their teenage children, Rowan and Clara. They are abstaining vampires, choosing not to drink blood despite their natural cravings, yet becoming more and more bloodthirsty by the day.

“When Clara is unexpectedly attacked by a boy in her class and her natural instincts take over, Peter and Helen are forced to reveal the truth. The shocking revelation encourages lovesick son Rowan and previously vegan Clara to question their own identity and suppressed desires. It’s at this pivotal juncture that Peter’s twin brother Will arrives on the scene (played by Damian Lewis in a dual role). A proud, practicing vampire who openly embraces his hedonistic, bloodthirsty lifestyle, Will forces the family to face their repressed urges even further. Can the family continue to hold back their hidden bloodlust, or will they give in to their true nature?”
