The Enfield Haunting is a forthcoming British drama series that has been commissioned by Sky Living and is due to be aired in Spring 2015. Kristoffer Nyholm, who rose to fame after the popular Danish series, The Killing, is directing the new three-parter. The series is based on Guy Lyon Playfair’s book, This House Is Haunted and is about a series of bizarre events around the phenomena known as ‘The Enfield Poltergeist’ that apparently took place at a council house in North London in 1977.
The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist film is based on the same paranormal case.
Matthew Macfadyen (Grindhouse; Ripper Street) is playing Guy Lyon Playfair, an experienced but skeptical paranormal investigator. Timothy Spall (The Bride; Gothic; Dream Demon; Wake Wood) plays Maurice Grosse, a fledgling paranormal researcher. Juliet Stevenson also joins the cast to play Maurice’s wife Betty Grosse.
