Fans of the Beeb’s crime thriller series The Fall were chuffed to hear news earlier in the year that Jamie Dornan would be reuniting with writer Allan Cubitt for a brand new series. The actor, now offically done with the Fifty Shades trilogy, stayed closer to home for the project.
Death And Nightingales has been adapted from the bestselling book by Eugene McCabe, and Dornan is joined by Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and Ann Skelly (Red Rock) in the new three part drama.
We’ve now grabbed the first trailer from the series, which you can eyeball below…
Here’s the official synopsis…
“Set over a desperately tense 24- hour period, it’s Beth Winters’ (Ann Skelly) 25th birthday – the day she has decided to join the charming Liam Ward (Jamie Dornan) and escape from her limited life and difficult and complex relationship with her Protestant landowner stepfather Billy (Matthew Rhys). As decades of pain and betrayal finally build to a devastating climax, Death And Nightingales is a powerful and gripping drama that follows a woman struggling to control her own destiny and will illuminate tensions that tear both families and nations apart.”
We’ll bring you more as we have it.
