FX Sets Limited Series ‘Say Nothing’ Starring Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan and Maxine Peake
FX today announced the limited series Say Nothing, a decades-long account of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe, who will serve as an executive producer with showrunner Josh Zetumer and Northern Irish director Michael Lennox.
Spanning four decades, Say Nothing explores the tumultuous period in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles. The series launches 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. But McConville was only one of many others who became known collectively as The Disappeared.
Through the eyes of various IRA members, including sisters Dolours and Marian Price—young women who transformed into magnetic symbols of radical politics, Brendan Hughes—a tight-lipped but conflicted military strategist, and Gerry Adams—a savvy political operator who would go on to negotiate peace but ultimately deny his involvement with the IRA, Say Nothing unpacks the extremes some people will go to within a civil rights movement as they pursue their ideals, the mystery surrounding The Disappeared, the cost of silence, and the way society mends – or doesn’t – after a long and bloody conflict.
The series will star Lola Petticrew (Tuesday, Dating Amber, Bloodlands) as Dolours Price, Hazel Doupe (Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale, You Are Not My Mother, Float Like a Butterfly, Smother, Calm With Horses) as Marian Price, Anthony Boyle (The Plot Against America, Manhunt, Masters of the Airs) as Brendan Hughes, Josh Finan (The Responder, Baby Reindeer, The Gentlemen) as Gerry Adams, and Maxine Peake (Funny Cow, The Theory of Everything, Peterloo, Black Mirror: Metalhead, Anne) as adult Dolours Price.
The 9-episode series will be available exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories.
Say Nothing is executive produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force (American Crime Story, Pose, The Hunger Games, Crazy Rich Asians), showrunner Josh Zetumer (RoboCop, Patriots Day), Patrick Radden Keefe (Wind of Change, Painkiller), Edward McDonnell (Shōgun, Sicario), Monica Levinson (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Captain Fantastic), and Northern Ireland native Michael Lennox (Derry Girls, The Back of Beyond, Boogaloo and Graham). The series is produced by FX Productions.
