‘It sort of feels like we’ve gotten this far, you know, and you feel like you’re part of the tribe and… I just want to be here until it’s all over, and feel that sense of joy that everyone else will feel, at the same time.’

Audible has described the series as ‘a supernatural murder mystery that blends a foreboding private school, a haunting conspiracy, and unnerving teenagers’.
Eric will be joined in the series by other well-known Austrian actors and actresses.
Magda Szubanski (Kath & Kim and Babe), Gary Sweet (Police Rescue and Bloom) and Olivia Deeble (Home and Away and Secret Society of Second Born Royals) are also involved.
Eric voices police detective and struggling single parent, Adam Durwood, who is assigned to investigate the body of a teenage boy found on the grounds of the exclusive Nevermoor girls school.
At the centre of the mystery is a coven of three beguiling and manipulative teenage girls who seem to know much more than they should and are slowly drawing Adam into a web he can’t see.
When Adam’s daughter, Lily, is secretly befriended by the three girls of Nevermoor things begin to unravel.
