Crá, a new Irish-language crime drama set in Donegal, will premiere on TG4 on Monday 11 November with viewers promised "a gripping story of murder, secrets, and justice in a close-knit Irish village".
The six-part series, whose title translates as 'anguish' or 'torment', begins on Monday 11 November at 9:30pm on TG4.
Teeing up what's ahead, TG4 said: "Crá follows Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin (Dónall Ó Héalaí, Monster, Foscadh) as he searches for justice in the most personal of cases - the murder of his own mother, Sabine, whose body is discovered 15 years after her disappearance.
"Forbidden from joining the investigation, Conall partners with a determined young journalist, Ciara-Kate (newcomer Hannah 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 series not only delves into a mystery but also explores the power of modern media, as every twist of the investigation is broadcast to a growing audience through Ciara-Kate's podcast.
"The question remains: Will truth prevail, or will some secrets stay buried forever?"
The cast of Crá also includes Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders), Barry McGovern (Obituary), Róisín Murphy (Vikings), Tara Breathnach (Borderline), Caoimhe Farren (The Woman in the Wall), and Alan Mahon (King Frankie).
The series is written by Doireann Ní Chorragáin and Richie Conroy, directed by Philip Doherty, and produced by Ciarán Charles.
Crá is produced by Fíbín Media in collaboration with Zoogon Ltd and was commissioned by TG4 and BBC Northern Ireland. The series is supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, Coimisiún na Meán, and Northern Ireland Screen's Irish Language Broadcast Fund. It has already secured About Premium Content (APC) as its international distributor.
Darach Ó Tuairisg, Executive Producer for Fíbín Media, said: "Crá is a unique and thrilling exploration of justice, secrets, and community, set against the striking backdrop of Donegal.
"From the beginning, we knew we had something special with this story, and working with such a talented cast and crew has only elevated it further.
"The series brings together the richness of Irish-language storytelling with a modern, suspenseful narrative that we believe will captivate viewers.
"We're proud to have collaborated with TG4, BBC Northern Ireland, and all our partners to bring this compelling drama to life, and we're confident it will resonate not just in Ireland but far beyond."
Máire Ní Chonláin, Executive Producer and Commissioning Editor for TG4, added: "Crá is a powerful and evocative drama that captures the essence of the rugged northwest of Ireland, both in its landscape and in its storytelling.
"This series brings together a talented team of writers, actors, and directors to tell a gripping tale of mystery and justice while also exploring the modern role of media in uncovering truth.
"We are proud to support a production that showcases not only the beauty of the Irish language but also its relevance and power in contemporary storytelling.
"We believe audiences will be drawn into the intensity and emotion of Crá, and it's a testament to the strength of cross-border collaboration between TG4 and BBC Northern Ireland."
