Cast: Timothy Spall, Gwyneth Keyworth, Steffan Rhodri, Alexandria Riley, Melanie Walters
Death Valley is a 2025 British comedy-horror series directed by Paul Doolan, following a police department that happens to patrol a city suddenly overrun by vampires, werewolves, and zombies — all captured through the unblinking eye of a documentary crew filming their every move.
What is Death Valley about?
When supernatural creatures — vampires, werewolves, and the walking dead — abruptly begin roaming the streets of a California valley, the local police force finds itself dealing with cases no training could have prepared them for. Told entirely through the lens of an embedded documentary crew, the series captures the officers as they respond to creature-related incidents with the same weary bureaucratic routine they would bring to any other call. The result is a workplace comedy about the mundane reality of policing the impossible, where the monsters are almost beside the point and the real comedy comes from how deeply ordinary everyone remains in the face of the extraordinary.
Cast & crew
Director Paul Doolan leads a strong British ensemble. Timothy Spall, a veteran of decades of British film and television, anchors the precinct with quiet authority. Gwyneth Keyworth and Steffan Rhodri bring sharp comic timing as fellow officers, while Melanie Walters, Remy Beasley, and Mike Bubbins round out a cast that excels at deadpan understatement.
Context & significance
The mockumentary format — made famous by series like The Office — translates beautifully to supernatural comedy, and Death Valley leans hard into that tradition. For Persian-speaking viewers abroad who enjoy dark British humor with a genre twist, this series offers exactly the kind of dry, self-aware comedy that travels well across cultures. Each episode runs just 22 minutes, making it an easy watch in short bursts. The series streams in its original English audio without Persian dubbing or subtitles, so a comfortable level of English is helpful — though the visual comedy and physical performances carry a great deal of the humor regardless.
Where & how to watch
