“I would die for a united Ireland.” FX on Hulu has revealed the full trailer for a series called Say Nothing, set in Belfast during the infamous The Troubles period. This historical drama limited series is created by Josh Zetumer for Disney+ and it’s produced by FX Productions. Strangely not an Irish production and not really made for either Irish or UK audiences despite being about what happened over there. Detailing four generations in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, it is an adaptation of the book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe. The claim is that it’s a story of “both sides”, but I do wonder if there’s some kind of political angle buried within. Not to mention it feels odd adding in humor. Just to say that a divided nation is bad. The series follows the lives of people growing up in Belfast in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Starring Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan, & Maxine Peake. For another great film about Belfast, Ireland watch Kneecap also from this year.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for FX’s thriller series Say Nothing, direct from YouTube:
FX’s series Say Nothing is a gripping story of murder & memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The nine-episode series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe. Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again. Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, Say Nothing explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence. Say Nothing is a series created by writer Josh Zetumer, writer on the movies RoboCop and Patriots Day previously. Based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe. Featuring episodes directed by Anthony Byrne, Michael Lennox, Mary Nighy, Alice Seabright. Executive produced by Edward McDonnell, Monica Levinson, Josh Zetumer, Michael Lennox. FX debuts this Say Nothing series streaming on Hulu in the US starting November 14th, 2024 coming soon.
