Alicia Silverstone, Acorn TV discover Irish Blood

TRAILER: Acorn TV has revealed the trailer for Irish Blood, its upcoming six-part crime drama starring Alicia Silverstone. It debuts in the US and Canada on Monday, August 11.

The murder mystery series focuses on Fiona (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan (Jason O’Mara), who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday.

After years of channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn’t know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life – was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father’s shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.

The cast also features Wendy Crewson, Dearbhla Molloy, Simone Kirby, Ruth Codd and Leonardo Taiwo.

Irish Blood is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Paul Donovan, Ailish McElmeel, Aaron Martin, Christina Ray, Silverstone and Molly McGlynn, who also directs the series.

It is produced by Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures, in association with AMC Studios. AMC Studios holds worldwide distribution rights.
