Rebecca Hall hears something no one else can in ‘The Listeners’
The five-part STARZ drama turns a mysterious hum into a full psychological nightmare.
“The Listeners” is coming to STARZ on Friday, June 12, and this one sounds creepy (get it?). Rebecca Hall stars as Claire Kutty, a popular English teacher who suddenly starts hearing a low, constant hum that nobody else around her can hear. Which, first of all, really annoying. But then the hum starts causing migraines, nosebleeds, insomnia, and the kind of stress that slowly starts wrecking her life. The five-part series is based on Jordan Tannahill’s bestselling novel, and with Janicza Bravo directing, this sounds like way more than a simple mystery. Here’s how to watch “The Listeners” on STARZ.

What is ‘The Listeners’ about?
“The Listeners” follows Claire Kutty, a popular English teacher whose life starts unraveling when she suddenly hears a low, persistent hum that nobody else around her can hear. Her husband can’t hear it. Her daughter can’t hear it. Nobody has an explanation. At first, it sounds like the kind of thing you might try to ignore, but then the hum starts causing migraines, nosebleeds, and insomnia, slowly wrecking her health and straining her relationships at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
Then Claire discovers that one of her students, Kyle, can hear the hum too, and the two form an unlikely bond over this thing no one else understands. But what starts as relief, finally, someone else gets it, gradually turns into something more intense and dangerous.
