K.J. Yossman “Yellowstone” star Kelly Reilly is set to lead a new Sky Original series created by Claire Oakley. Titled “Under Salt Marsh,” the six-part show is described as a “gripping crime thriller” set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a place caught between towering mountains and a fast-encroaching sea.
Reilly will play detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis. Oakley (“Make Up’) co-writes, exec produces and lead directos the show, which is produced by Little Door Productions in association with Sky Studios.
Jonathan Harbottle and Nikita Lalwani are co-writers while Mary Nighy directs the third and fourth episodes. “As a once-in-a-generation storm begins to gather far out at sea, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis discovers the body of her 8-year-old pupil, Cefin, seemingly drowned,” reads the logline. “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.” “Cefin’s death summons Jackie’s former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to Morfa Halen to lead the investigation into a community he failed once before.
Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good.” The show will begin filming later this year. “‘Under Salt Marsh’ is a crime thriller set in a community deeply connected to its environment, and interwoven with the heartache, fears, dreams and secrets of its people,” said Oakley. “At the heart of it all is Jackie, a character who embodies the wildness of the place we’re depicting.
