BBC, TG4 partner for crime drama Crá
TRAILER: Dónall Ó Héalai, Alex Murphy and Hannah Brady lead the cast of Irish-language drama Crá, which will launch on the BBC and TG4 this November.
In an isolated village in the north west of Ireland, a murder investigation begins when Garda Barry Roche (Murphy) finds a body buried in the bog. In the most personal of cases, Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin (Ó Héalai) discovers it is his mother, Sabine, who has been missing for 15 years.
Conall is forbidden from working on the case, but is drawn into the investigation by a determined young journalist Ciara-Kate (Brady), who is using her true-crime podcast to expose the village’s deepest secrets.
As they unravel the truth, they must confront a community bound by silence and its own moral codes.
The ensemble cast also includes Barry McGovern, Róisín Murphy, Tara Breathnach, Caoimhe Farren and Alan Mahon.
Filmed on location in County Donegal, the six-part series is produced by Fíbín Media and Zoogon for BBC Gaeilge and TG4 with support from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF), Screen Ireland, Coimisiún na Meán, Gréasán na Meán Skillnet and distributor About Premium Content (APC).
This series will air in Ireland on TG4 and TG4.ie on November 11. It will also launch with English subtitles on BBC iPlayer and BBC Northern Ireland in November.
