What to Expect

PremiereLens read

My Sad Dead turns domestic unease into a spreading supernatural disturbance. Voices from beyond reach past one house and into an entire neighborhood, making the boundary between the living and the dead increasingly unstable. The horror has a dreamlike, melancholy texture, with grief and desire tangled together rather than kept separate. Its erotic edges make encounters with the dead feel intimate as well as disturbing.

Ema’s guarded relationship with the dead clashes with Julie’s far more intense, sexual connection to them. Their bond as aunt and niece brings opposing responses to the same gift into close quarters: distance on one side, troubling openness on the other. For Ema, involvement also means facing her estranged daughter and a past crowded with ghosts she has never released. Family conflict gives the haunting a painful, personal cost.

Official Premise

Ema, a 60-year-old doctor, can see and hear the dead. She calls them "presences" and has lived her entire life avoiding letting this gift connect her with the suffering of others. But when her niece Julie a disturbed young woman who can also communicate with the dead, but in a much more intense and sexual manner arrives at her house, Ema is forced to get involved. What begins as a family reunion turns into a disturbing chain of events that alters the balance between the world of the living and the dead, infecting an entire neighborhood with voices from beyond. As the borders between life, death, and desire blur, Ema will have to confront her past, her daughter, and the ghosts she never let go.

Crystal Lake

Peacock • Oct 15, 2026

MysteryDrama

In 1971 (eight years before the events of the 1980 film), Pamela Voorhees (Linda Cardinelli) is a single mother who has been unable to cope with her grief after her sickly young son Jason presumably drowned at Camp Crystal Lake almost a year earlier. When a dark secret from Pam's past emerges, a disturbing chain of horrifying events befell the peaceful town of Crystal Lake, making its townspeople wonder: who is Pamela Voorhees?

View show

Why this pick

My Sad Dead and Crystal Lake build dread around grief that follows people into their homes and families. Ema’s contact with the dead makes ordinary domestic scenes feel haunted, while a mother’s unresolved loss and a quiet town’s buried secrets create a slower, more grounded horror mystery.
