YELLOWSTONE Actress Kelly Reilly Set to Star in Sky Original Series UNDER SALT MARSH Created by Claire Oakley
Yellowstone actress Kelly Reilly has signed on to star in a new Sky Original series titled Under Salt Marsh, from creator Claire Oakley.
The six-part show is described as a “gripping crime thriller” set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a place caught between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea. Reilly will play detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis.
Oakley (Make Up, Culprits) co-writes, executive produces and lead-directs the show, which is produced by Little Door Productions in association with Sky Studios. Jonathan Harbottle and Nikita Lalwani are co-writers while Mary Nighy directs the third and fourth episodes.
The logline reads: “As a once-in-a-generation storm begins to gather far out at sea, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis discovers the body of her 8-year-old pupil, Cefin, seemingly drowned.
“The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, reviving the ghost of an unsolved cold case that rocked the town three years prior – the disappearance of Jackie’s niece, Nessa, which cost her career.
“Cefin’s death summons Jackie’s former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to Morfa Halen to lead the investigation into a community he failed once before.
“Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good.”
The show is set to start shooting later this year. Does it sound like a show you might be interested in?
