Morgan and Spencer will play "a couple hell-bent on bringing modern ideas to an ancient, rural community.
"When Nathan, a pioneering Victorian psychologist, brings his vivacious, young wife back to live on his family's estate, he's confronted by one disturbing case after another. Are these strange events linked merely by coincidence, or is there something more sinister -- more supernatural -- going on in the village?"
"The Living and the Dead is a frisky, Halloween brew of gothic Victoriana, an isolated village, a sick young woman and an earnest young protagonist who believed rational thought will save the day... a perfectly eerie Halloweenathon for BBCA fans," Sarah Barnett, the network's president, said in a statement Monday.
