Glitch Season 1 is a haunting supernatural drama set in the fictional rural community of Yoorana, Victoria. The story begins when Sergeant James Hayes (Patrick Brammall) is summoned to the local cemetery after reports of six disoriented, naked individuals emerging from their graves in perfect health—but with no memory of their identities or pasts YouTube+2Wikipedia+2YouTube+2.
Soon, James discovers that one of the resurrected is his own wife, Kate, who died two years earlier. Shocked and conflicted, James enlists the help of local doctor Elishia McKellar (Genevieve O’Reilly) to investigate while keeping the situation secret from the outside world. As more resurrected residents appear, including Charlie (Sean Keenan), Sarah (Emily Barclay), Paddy (Ned Dennehy), Beau (Aaron L. McGrath), and John (Rodger Corser), the town reels from uncanny personal and collective mysteries Wikipedia+1IMDb+1.
The unnaturally revived, dubbed “the risen,” struggle to recover memories and piece together the circumstances of their deaths—and their resurrection. Relationships are tested: James faces a heartbreaking triangle between living and dead, while Elishia’s medical and emotional involvement deepens. The rising dead, largely linked across time and history, gradually learn of a larger enigma: why they’re back, and who—or what—is bringing them back WikipediaIMDbIMDb.
Directed by Emma Freeman, with writing led by Louise Fox and creative oversight from Tony Ayres, Glitch marries the supernatural and emotional. With a runtime averaging 52 minutes per episode, Season 1’s six episodes weave together haunting performances and a mystery-driven arc. Visually atmospheric and emotionally intense, the series probes themes of identity, loss, redemption, and what it means to belong after death.
Season 1 received strong acclaim, earning Best Television Drama Series at the 2016 AACTA Awards and Most Outstanding Drama Series at the 2016 Logie Awards Wikipedia+1IMDb+1. It blends mystery, grief, and suspense into a thrilling supernatural tapestry—not just another zombie story, but a deeply human resurrection tale.
