The dark, intriguing drama tells the unnerving tale of a British island steeped in mythology that ensnares two mainlanders, one who ends up there accidentally and another who arrives on a hunt for answers.
Told over the course of six episodes, The Third Day is divided into two parts: “Summer” sees Sam (Jude Law) rescuing a troubled young girl and accompanying her home to the otherworldly and microcosmic Osea Island, while “Winter” follows Helen (Naomie Harris), a strong-willed outsider who comes to the same island seeking answers.
The limited series features a formidable cast line-up including Jude Law (Oscar® nominee for Cold Mountain), Naomie Harris (Academy Award nominee for Moonlight), Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts), Emily Watson (Emmy® and Golden Globe nominee for Chernobyl), and Paddy Considine (Outsider).
The Third Day is the latest HBO project in partnership with Sky, and hails from production company Plan B, writer Dennis Kelly (Utopia) and immersive theatre company Punchdrunk International, which produced the hit production Sleep No More. Marc Munden (National Treasure) directed the first three episodes, while Philippa Lowthorpe (The Crown) directed the last three.
The Third Day premieres Monday, December 7, with all six episodes dropping at Foxtel On Demand from midday.
New episodes will also air every Monday at 8.30pm on FOX SHOWCASE.
