Across the episodes, we\u2019re set to follow the people around her as we soon see that each character has their own motive for attacking her. But who\u2019s done it?<\/p>\n
Well, RadioTimes.com<\/a> has your exclusive first look at the series (above), and it looks as though some of the suspicion could lie with Jessica (Sadie Soverall).<\/p>\n In the teaser clip of the second episode, we see Jessica making her way up a country road, making a worried phone call to Adam (Sonny Walker).<\/p>\n She says: \u201cAdam, please call me. Something really bad\u2019s happened.\u201d<\/p>\n But before she can finish her sentence, she\u2019s interrupted by a car that speeds past and parks behind her. We soon see Jessica\u2019s mother, Natalie (Vinette Robinson), rush out of the 4\u00d74, saying that Jessica is in so much trouble.<\/p>\n Before she can fully let rip at her daughter, though, she sees that her face is covered in bloody cuts, and Jessica soon breaks down in tears in her mother\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not long before a police car goes whizzing past them with its sirens going, and Jessica tells Natalie that they need to go.<\/p>\n But what is Jessica running from? And what is she scared of the police finding out? There are certainly plenty of questions going into the series, and we\u2019re sure to get answers slowly but surely as the drama unfolds.<\/p>\n It\u2019s set to be quite the series packed full of twists as the fallout from Kelly\u2019s attack reverberates through the community, with all eyes on who is the prime suspect.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the series synopsis: \u201cFilmed and set in Liverpool and around Merseyside, The Gathering is ultimately a whodunnit \u2013 or, in this case, a-why-done-it. Focusing on a group of disparate teenagers and their parents, each character has a motive for attacking Kelly.<\/p>\n \u201cAn accomplished gymnast, on the national team pathway, Kelly is committed to her strict training schedule but finds freedom and liberation in the joyous, unregulated world of free running.<\/p>\n \u201cEach episode details the events leading up to the attack from a fresh perspective, unpacking the rivalries and relationships of a disparate group of teens and their parents. As their secrets and lies are laid bare, the truth behind the attack emerges.\u201d<\/p> As well as Soverall and Robinson starring in the series, they\u2019re joined by Eva Morgan as Kelly, Luther<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0Warren Brown<\/a> as Kelly\u2019s father Paul and Richard Coyle as Jules.<\/p>\n Speaking about some of the twists in the series that even most of the cast weren\u2019t privvy to as they shot it,\u00a0Soverall told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cI think in the first week we were all kind of like, \u2018Who is it?\u2019 because we still didn\u2019t know and everyone has a reason.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s so clever about the way Helen\u2019s [Walsh] written it, is that it could be argued, even if it\u2019s very far-fetched, that a lot of characters could be the culprits. That\u2019s what keeps you on the edge of your seat.\u201d<\/p>\n The Gathering starts on 14 May at 9pm on Channel 4, with the box set available to stream from midnight. <\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.
