The Survivors

Fifteen years after a small seaside town was ripped apart by the disappearance of three young people, The Survivors watches a quiet community try to carry on. Then a young woman's death surfaces, dredging up old rumors and buried memories. The show follows Mia Chang, an observer drawn into the case, and a seasoned detective as they peel back layers of secrecy across a town that looks serene on the surface but hides hard truths. Friends, families, and rivals are forced to face what they kept silent for years, and every lead seems to raise more questions than it answers. The past refuses to stay buried, and the search for truth tests loyalties and reshapes what people believe about one another.

Directed by Cherie Nowlan and Ben C Lucas, The Survivors is created by Tony Ayres and Jane Harper and features Yerin Ha, Miriama Smith, Charlie Vickers in a tense, character driven mystery.

Initial chatter frames the show as a measured, character driven thriller that looks at how communities cope with pain, secrets, and moral ambiguity. Across its tense atmosphere and restrained performances, The Survivors asks what a town is willing to lose to uncover the truth.
