2. Shake On It, Captainess Lee

The stranded crew of the Epsilon forge an uneasy partnership with the Polaris crew who claim to be the survivors of a 1926 polar expedition. As they work together to escape the Arctic ice, mounting evidence suggests their extraordinary claim might be true.

When a stranded Arctic research vessel transmits a call for help, the ship that comes to the rescue is not what they expected. Trapped together in a frozen limbo, two crews separated by a century must survive starvation, the elements, and paranoia to get home.

A chilling five-part supernatural thriller that blends claustrophobic survivalism, cosmic sci-fi and environmental geopolitics, set in one of the most hostile places on Earth - the Arctic tundra. Written by the writers of the award-winning drama podcast 'Up In Smoke', Cambria Bailey-Jones and Guy Larsen.
