Siobhán Cullen To Lead Irish Dark Comedy-Drama ‘Obituary’, Coproduced By Megamedia, APC Studios For Hulu
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: APC Studios UK and Irish independent production company Magamedia are co-producing Irish dark comedy-crime drama Obituary exclusively in the US for streaming service Hulu, with RTÉ in Ireland pre-buying the series.
Irish TV and theatre actress Siobhán Cullen, whose recent credits include family comedy-drama The Dry and crime drama The Long Call, stars as Elvira Clancy, an obituarist working at a small-town newspaper, who suddenly finds herself being paid by the obituary due to cuts.
When she “accidentally” kills a nasty piece of work, she discovers she might have an untapped bloodlust, and sets her sights on other unpleasant residents of the town.
Her killing spree hits a potential snag when the paper hires an attractive crime correspondent. The six-part series is written by Irish scriptwriter Ray Lawlor (Le Ceangal), directed by John Hayes (Dublin Murders, Bancroft) and produced by Nell Green (The Outfit, The Undeclared War).
