Put your crime solving skills to the test and dive into a world of mystery as Lionsgate Play adds another edge-of-your-seat thriller to their roster. British series “The Rising” is a supernatural crime drama packed into an intense 8-episode series. It follows Neve Kelly (Clara Rugaard) as she makes a jarring discovery — she’s dead but she somehow still exists. With her newfound paranormal abilities, Neve is determined to investigate her death and fight for justice. But as she digs deeper, she discovers that her loved ones might not be as innocent as they seem. As the life she knew starts to unravel and secrets rise to the surface, will Neve be able to solve the mystery of her own death?
Talking about what she loves about the show and her character, Clara Rugaard, who plays Neve Kelly said, “One of the reasons why I think this show is unique and interesting is because it does the beautiful thing of reimagining the ‘dead girl’ story and gives the victim a voice. It’s all through the victim’s perspective and through Neve’s eyes. The drive and the force is coming from her. ‘That’s not how my story is going to end.’ I think that that’s clever and really cool.”
“The Rising” also stars Emily Taaffe, Matthew, McNulty, Nenda Neuruer, Solly McLeod, Cameron Howitt, Alex Lanipekun, Robyn Cara and is directed by Thora Hilmarsdottir (2 episodes), Ed Lilly (2 episodes), Carl Tibbetts (2 episodes), Paul Walker (2 episodes).
