Cruise life takes a dark turn with a killer duck on the loose in first trailer for Wreck

Do not adjust your glasses. You read the headline correctly. A killer duck is on the loose aboard a cruise ship in the first trailer for Freemantle’s series Wreck.

In the horror comedy series, Jamie Walsh (Ladhood’s Oscar Kennedy) is a 19-year-old who takes a job aboard The MS Sacramentum cruise ship to investigate the disappearance of his sister. Jamie’s sister was working on the ship during its last charter, but went missing midway through the trip. Jamie slowly gets initiated into cruise life and the different groups that exist below deck. As Jamie learns more secrets aboard the ship, murders begin to take place at the hands of a murderer in a killer duck mask. Wreck combines British comedy with slasher horror for a six-episode season.
