Wreck became a fan favourite show thanks to its unique blend of comedy and horror.

The series, which has an increased focus on LGBTQ+ characters, follows the character of Jamie, played by actor Oscar Kennedy, as he takes a job aboard a cruise ship in order to investigate the mystery surrounding the disappearance of his sister.
