The Living and the Dead is a British supernatural horror television miniseries created by Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham. The plot revolves around Nathan Appleby (played by Colin Morgan) and his wife, Charlotte Appleby (played by Charlotte Spencer), whose farm is believed to be at the centre of numerous supernatural occurrences.
The series is directed by Alice Troughton and Sam Donovan.
On 5 June 2015, Colin Morgan and Charlotte Spencer were announced to join the cast.
The Living and the Dead production is based in the Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England.
The six-part BBC One TV Series began rehearsals on 29 July 2015, and shooting commenced in the West Country on 3 August 2015, with an official announcement about the series on 7 August 2015. Filming concluded on 18 December 2015.
On 12 August 2016, BBC had officially stated that the series would not be renewed for a second series.
Bristol-based duo The Insects were commissioned to write the score for the series. The first episode features the traditional song "She Moved Through the Fair" sung by Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack, plus the Anglican hymn "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise" at the ploughman's funeral. Another recurring song is "The Reaper's Ghost", composed by Richard Dyer-Bennet in 1935.
