Hulu has released the trailer for dark comedy crime drama Obituary, premiering on the streaming service on November 21, 2023. The series comes from APC Studios and Magamedia.
24-year-old Elvira Clancy is feeling a little unfulfilled, although she adores her new job writing obituaries, but when her newspaper falls on hard times and her boss cuts her salary, she finds herself being paid per obituary overnight.
When she “accidentally” kills a nasty piece of work in the town, she discovers she might have a previously untapped bloodlust! She relishes using ever more crafty methods to kill off the town’s unpleasant residents while making them look like accidents.
Stalk. Kill. Publish. Repeat. Unfortunately, a wrench lands in the works – the paper hires a suspicious new crime correspondent and she really, really likes him…
Obituary stars Siobhán Cullen (The Dry, Origin, The Long Call, Paula, Bodkin), Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters, Bloodlands, Gunpowder Milkshake), and Ronan Raftery (The Rook, Mortal Engines, The Terror).
The cast also includes Danielle Galligan (Shadow and Bone, Lakelands, KIN) and David Ganly (Moon Knight, Body of Lies).
Hulu‘s Obituary is written by award-winning Irish scriptwriter Ray Lawlor (Le Ceangal) and lead directed by John Hayes (Dublin Murders, Bancroft).
Oonagh Kearney (Vardy vs Rooney) is directing second block and the series is produced by Nell Green (The Outfit, The Undeclared War).
