Sinister secrets abound in the trailer for new chiller series The Burning Girls, based on C.J. Tudor's novel of the same name.

The action sees single mum and reverend Jack Brooks (Samantha Morton) moving into a new village with her daughter Flo (Bridgerton's Ruby Stokes), only to discover there are some strange local superstitions — and sightings of little girls who may or may not be real. The series has been adapted by The Bridge's Hans Rosenfeldt.

The Burning Girls is streaming on Paramount+ Oct. 19.
