The series follows follows Rob Reilly – a smart-suited detective whose English accent marks him as an outsider – who is dispatched to investigate the murder of a young girl on the outskirts of Dublin with his partner, Cassie Maddox. Against his better judgement and protected by his friendship with Cassie, he is pulled back into another case of missing children and forced to confront his own darkness. As the case intensifies, Rob and Cassie’s relationship is tested to the breaking point and when Cassie is sent undercover for another murder case, she is forced to come face to face with her own brutal reckoning.

This eight-part series, brilliantly adapted by Sarah Phelps (The Casual Vacancy), delivers psychological mystery and darkness with a taproot that drops deep down into Ireland’s past, foreshadows the present and brings insight to its future. This season adapts the first two books from the series, In The Woods and The Likeness.

Saul Dibb, the drama’s lead director and executive producer, said in a statement: “Writers as good as Sarah Phelps are rare and I want people to be as excited to watch Dublin Murders as I was to first read her scripts – with each episode the powerful, gripping, atmospheric, brilliantly acted mini-movie they deserve.”
