Yellowstone’s Kelly Reilly takes centre stage in this captivating and chilling crime drama, which has just unveiled its first two episodes.

The six-part thriller sees Reilly, famed for her role as the formidable Beth Dutton in the popular Western series, step into the shoes of

Jackie Ellis, a former detective turned school teacher who finds herself embroiled in an investigation into a grisly crime that rocks her small Welsh town.

 

 

Her ex-partner, Eric Bull (portrayed by Rafe Spall), is given the responsibility of spearheading the investigation, a task that unearths haunting memories of a similarly gruesome incident from three years prior that resulted in Jackie’s departure from the police force.

Teased to audiences last year, Sky viewers can now immerse themselves in this enthralling murder mystery today (Friday, 30th January) with the two-part premiere ready to stream.

New instalments of the must-see drama will be rolled out on Fridays throughout February, so be sure to clear some space in your weekend viewing schedules for Under Salt Marsh, reports Wales Online.

The official synopsis for the can’t-miss series reads:“Under Salt Marsh is a gripping and cinematic crime drama set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a tightknit community precariously nestled between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea that threatens its very existence.

The official synopsis for the can’t-miss series reads:“Under Salt Marsh is a gripping and cinematic crime drama set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a tightknit community precariously nestled between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea that threatens its very existence.

“As a once-in-a-generation storm threatens to strike the town, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis discovers the body of her 9-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 and broke down her relationship with her sister.”

Additional details hint at a mysterious connection between both cases that will emerge across the six-part series as Jackie and Eric set aside their personal conflicts to delve into Morfa Halen’s dark past.

The synopsis adds: “An intimate and cinematic story, Under Salt Marsh takes audiences into the heart of a community bound by nature and fractured by an unthinkable crime.”

Joining leading actors Reilly and Spall is an impressive ensemble featuring some of the finest talent from high-end television drama.

The cast includes The Crown’s Jonathan Pryce as Solomon Bevan, a respected community elder, and Industry’s Harry Lawtey portraying a young resident linked to both Jackie and the harrowing crime.

Following her return to British television for this latest role, Reilly is set to reunite with Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler in the forthcoming spin-off, The Dutton Ranch.

Whilst the eagerly awaited series hasn’t yet been given an official release date, it’s expected to launch later this year.
