EXCLUSIVE: The Affair star Ruth Wilson and Peaky Blinders and Good Luck to You Leo Grande actor Daryl McCormack have been set to lead new blue chip BBC and Showtime TV series The Woman In The Wall, inspired by Ireland’s controversial Magdalene Laundries.In the 6×60’ gothic thriller, two-time BAFTA nominee Wilson will play Lorna Brady who wakes one morning to find a corpse in her house.
Brady has no idea who the dead woman is or if she herself might be responsible for the apparent murder, because she has long suffered from extreme bouts of sleepwalking.
The episodes began during her teenage years when she was incarcerated in one of Ireland and the Catholic Church’s notorious Magdalene Laundries, where ‘fallen women’ were sent to atone for ‘sins’ such as adultery and teenage pregnancy.Rising actor McCormack will play the ambitious but elusive Detective Colman Akande who is on Lorna’s tail for a crime seemingly unrelated to the dead woman in Lorna’s house.
Colman has quickly risen through the ranks of the local police force but is hiding his own dark secrets.The Magdalene Laundries operated in Ireland for more than 200 years.
