BBC reveals first look at Crá, a crime drama starring Dónall Ó Héalai and Alex Murphy which filmed on location in County Donegal, Ireland.

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 distributors About Premium Content (APC).

In an isolated village in the northwest of Ireland, a murder investigation begins when Garda Barry Roche (played by Murphy) finds a body buried in the bog. In the most personal of cases, Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin (Dónall Ó Héalai) discovers it is his mother, Sabine, who has been missing for 15 years.

Conall is drawn into the investigation by a young journalist Ciara-Kate (Hannah Brady), who is using her true-crime podcast to expose the village's secrets leading them to confront a community bound by silence.

Also starring are Barry McGovern (Obituary), Róisín Murphy (Vikings), Tara Breathnach (Borderline, Dune2), Caoimhe Farren (The Woman in the Wall), and Alan Mahon (King Frankie).

This Irish language series with English subtitles will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer and BBC Northern Ireland this November.
