Requiem airs its second episode on Friday night – here’s what is happening in the spooky thriller.
Matilda Gray – played by Lydia Wilson – continues trying to convince PC Graves that the missing girl, Carys, must have been hidden in the basement of Dean House.
The policeman is initially dismissive of the new information but it’s soon clear that she thinks they’re could be something to it.
Meanwhile, Matilda becomes aware she is being watched by an unidentified and hooded man all while having some spooky and unusual experiences with the local residents.
Increasingly unsettled in Dean House, Matilda is drawn to a room with a blue door and her quest for truth threatens to drive a wedge between her and Hal Fine, played by Joel Fry.
The six-part psychological drama stars Star Trek’s Wilson as the main protagonist, whose life is turned upside down when her mother dies.

Creator and writer Kris Mrksa was inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s horror films and Requiem will certainly send a shiver up your spine and see you reaching for a cushion to hide behind.
But it’s not just high-level horror, there’s a more subtle thread of scariness woven through the six-part series, as Mrksa explained to the BBC: “I don’t mean the kind of in-your-face horror film that seems to be so ubiquitous these days.
I’m talking about subtle-scary, the kind that trades on mood, and a sense of disquiet, slowly building to something that is ultimately far more disturbing and unsettling."
