The series is set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a close-knit community nestled between towering mountains and a sea that threatens its very existence. Former detective and teacher Jackie (Reilly) discovers the body of her eight-year-old student Cefin, apparently drowned. The death sends shockwaves through the town and revives the ghost of an unsolved case that rocked Morfa Halen three years earlier - the disappearance of Jackie's niece Nessa, which cost her her career.
Cefin's death calls Jackie's former partner, Detective Eric Bull (Spall, The English), back to Morfa Halen to lead the investigation in a community where he has failed before. Convinced that the cases are connected, Jackie and Eric must reconcile to uncover long-hidden secrets in Morfa before the storm breaks and all evidence is gone forever.
Dinita Gohil, Brian Gleeson, Kimberley Nixon, Mark Stanley, Dino Fetscher, Lizzie Annis, Rhodri Meilir and Julian Lewis Jones complete the cast.
Under Salt Marsh is produced by Little Door Productions in association with Sky Studios and is filmed entirely in Wales, Great Britain.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented cast bringing these characters to life,” said Elwen Rowlands, executive producer and CEO, Little Door. “Claire’s compelling scripts tell a thrilling story of a community deeply connected with its environment, raw with emotion, and beautifully mirrored by the stunning backdrop of North Wales where the story unfolds.”
Under Salt Marsh, which received production support from the Welsh Government through Creative Wales, will be available on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland. NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution will handle international sales of the series.
