Acorn TV Unveils Trailer for Irish Blood, Debuting This August

Today, Acorn TV unveiled the official trailer for its all-new crime drama series, Irish Blood, starring and executive produced by award-winning actress Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Bugonia).

The series premieres with two episodes on Monday, August 11, exclusively on Acorn TV in the U.S. and Canada. New episodes will debut weekly on Mondays.

A six-part murder mystery, Irish Blood focuses on Fiona (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan (Jason O’Mara, The Man in the High Castle, The Good Wife), who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday.

After years of channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn’t know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life was a lie.

A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father’s shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.

In addition to Alicia Silverstone and Jason O’Mara, the cast also includes Wendy Crewson (We Were Liars, Tracker), Dearbhla Molloy (Wild Mountain Thyme, Rendezvous), Simone Kirby (His Dark Materials, Kneecap), Ruth Codd (The Fall of the House of Usher), and Leonardo Taiwo (The Wheel of Time, Ant-Man & The Wasp).

Irish Blood is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Paul Donovan, Ailish McElmeel, Aaron Martin, Christina Ray, Silverstone, and Molly McGlynn, who also directs the series.

The series is produced by Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures, in association with AMC Studios and with the support of incentives for the Irish Film Industry provided by the government of Ireland, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and Ontario Creates.
