Some apps kill your battery. This one might kill you. In Red Rose, a group of teens in England uncover the chilling truth behind a fatal phone app plaguing their town. The creepy software lures in users by promising to fulfill their deepest desires, but it ultimately isolates them from those they hold close and sparks seemingly supernatural destruction. The series, which originally aired on BBC last year, was produced by Eleven (the production team behind Sex Education) and created by the Clarkson Twins, who co-produced Mike Flanagan’s horror series The Haunting of Bly Manor.

The series follows a group of teens who fall prey to a dangerous app called Red Rose. Once downloaded, the app exacts deadly consequences on anyone who uses it — unless a few best friends can band together in time to stop it.
Red Rose is set in the Manchester-adjacent town of Bolton, England, where the show was also filmed. Not coincidentally, creators Paul and Michael Clarkson (aka the Clarkson Twins) were born and raised there.
