Alice Johnson — Television Projects
Alongside The Lions Chamber, Alice has a growing slate of original television projects at various stages of development — from completed pilot scripts to projects in early development. Her work spans paranormal comedy drama, psychological horror, and literary fiction adapted for screen, united by a distinctive voice, working class authenticity, and character-driven storytelling.
THE VOICES OF QUEENSBURY HALL
Six-Part Paranormal Comedy Drama
A crumbling Georgian manor. A 400-year-old ghost who doesn't know why he's still there. And the only person who can hear him would really rather not.
When Emma Gawthorne inherits her grandfather's fortune, she buys the crumbling Georgian manor her other grandad spent a lifetime talking about. Queensbury Hall has been empty since the 1980s. It shouldn't have a sitting tenant. It does.
Ghosts meets Midsomer Murders.
Pilot script complete. In submission.
FRESH WATER
Six-part limited drama series. Adapted from published work. In development.
When Anna brings her husband, Mark, to a remote cottage on the Scottish coast, she tells herself it's to save their marriage. The loch tells a different story.
In the cold dark water beneath the surface, something ancient waits — a female-only species older than memory, and the marriage isn't what they've come to save at all.
Adapted from Alice Johnson's published short story, Fresh Water is a six-part psychological horror drama about desire, damage, and what women become when the world stops expecting them to be gentle.
The Darkest Night
Feature Film. Adapted from published work. In development.
When Roman soldiers massacre his village and behead his father, fifteen-year-old Bentik flees into the winter wilderness of Iron Age Britain with three of his hunters. Their mission: reach the druids on the blessed isle before Rome does. Their journey takes them through dying tribe-lands, Roman capture, a village of ritual madness, and the smouldering ruins of everything they loved. The darkest night Albion has ever seen forges four boys into men — but the age of Albion is already over.
Adapted from Alice Johnson's published historical fiction, The Darkest Night is a feature film about brotherhood, belonging, and what it costs to keep going when everything worth fighting for is already gone.
