Well, a new show has just been announced and it has immediately been added to our watch list.
RTÉ has just confirmed a brand new crime drama that we’re sure to be hooked on.
The six-part series, entitled The Yank, has started filming in Galway.
Kate Mulgrew, who is best known for her roles in Star Trek: Voyager and Orange is the New Black, will take on the leading role of Lieutenant Nora Savage.
Colm Meaney will star alongside the American actor.
Also set to star are John Connors (The Gentlemen, Irish Blood), India Mullen (Normal People, Under Salt Marsh), Cillian O’Sullivan (Daredevil: Born Again, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), and Jack Rowan (A Town Called Malice, Wreck).
The Yank is writer Eithne Verling’s first television drama script and was created specifically for Kate Mulgrew after the pair had a chance meeting in Galway while the actor was on holiday.
What a way to start a show!
So what is the show about?
The series is set on the west coast of Ireland and sees seasoned NYPD detective Nora Savage take a career break from the NYPD following a traumatic event, and move to her family home.
Expecting a change of pace, Nora is unexpectedly pulled into a murder investigation involving a female climate activist. As she goes head-to-head with a ruthless environmental magnate, putting those closest to her at risk, she is forced to confront her personal demons head-on.
As the investigation builds to a tense and savage climax, it pushes Nora and the squad into a thrilling hunt for the killer.
