HBO limited series The Third Day stars Jude Law and Naomi Harris, set on a mysteriously creepy English island.

The Third Day represents an intriguingly original storytelling style for an HBO offering. Indeed, the six-part limited series is headlined by Jude Law and Naomie Harris... each of whom won't likely share the screen, since the series is divided into two halves, each centering on their respective characters during different times.

Dennis Kelly, creator of the acclaimed U.K. sci-fi series, Utopia (which he's currently remaking as a U.S. Amazon series), co-created the series with Felix Barrett. Set on a mysterious island off the English coast, the show bears a deliberately ambiguous mystery-box-esque plot filled with creepy small-town/cultish characters evocative of Midsommar or The Wicker Man.

The teaser trailer for HBO's The Third Day has arrived, likely leaving would-be viewers perplexed and intrigued about this (supernaturally inescapable) English island.



Like everything else in the civilized world, the series has already been affected by coronavirus concerns, and was shifted to a fall window after it was originally set to debut on May 11.
