The survival thriller film ‘The Bayou’ is scheduled to air on Rai 4 on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 21:20. Directed by Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson, the 2025 British production follows a group of friends whose journey turns into a fight for survival after a plane crash in the Louisiana swamps.

The protagonist, Kyle, played by Athena Strates, is traveling to the Southern United States to scatter her brother Jamie’s ashes. The survivors find themselves isolated in a hostile environment where they are hunted by highly aggressive alligators. The film reveals that these predators have become more territorial and violent due to chemical contamination from a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory located in the area.
