I asked the cast of Sky TV's Possession what would make the perfect streaming 'double bill' with the new supernatural thriller — and their answer has a surprising twist
I raced through all five episodes of new Sky TV thriller Possession in the blink of an eye — but the casts' suggested double bill has more ties to the series than you'd think.
I recently questioned the cast of Sky TV's new supernatural thriller Possession about what would make the perfect streaming double bill alongside the recent horror series. Director Storm Saulter and lead actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw provided their insights, revealing a surprising connection between the two projects. While Possession focuses on Claudia (Mbatha-Raw), an ambitious biracial lawyer investigating a disputed inheritance claim in Jamaica, Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, explores vampires and Afro-spiritualism.
Saulter mentioned that Sinners was being made concurrently with Possession, and both share themes of Afro-spiritualism, colonial history, and the connection between past and present. Mbatha-Raw agreed that while the projects are distinct, they do share some common themes, particularly the exploration of biracial characters and the influence of history on modern narratives.
Despite the thematic similarities, Mbatha-Raw believes that Possession and Sinners are separate projects with different tones and storytelling approaches, and she encourages viewers to experience both rather than feeling overwhelmed by the content.
