Join BBC Home Entertainment for the first season of the psychological thriller Afterlife, coming to DVD from beyond the grave on May 13, 2013. Psychology professor Robert Bridge (Andrew Lincoln, The Walking Dead, Love Actually) is a fierce skeptic who teaches his students to be suspicious of anyone claiming to be psychic…until he meets Alison Mundy (Lesley Sharp, Vera Drake, The Full Monty). Will Robert prove that Alison is a fraud like all the others, or will Alison prove there is more to the world than Robert ever imagined?
A medium who has been able to see spirits since she was a child, Alison appears to be the real deal- unable to avoid the dead who seek her aid, she is driven to resolve relationships torn apart by death. Science-minded Robert finds it hard to change his deeply rooted assumptions that such paranormal activity is impossible. When Alison’s readings provoke an adverse reaction in one of Robert’s own pupils, he begins to observe her with the intention of turning his study into a book. Choosing to believe that Alison is imagining her experiences, Robert finds himself caught up as Alison continuously puts herself at risk in order to comfort both the living and the dead… until she sets her sights on helping Robert come to terms with his son’s tragic death.
