A NEW tv series shot in Donegal is set to premiere on RTÉ One on Tuesday, September 26 at 10.15pm.
Obituary is a dark comedy crime drama in which the newspaper that 24-year-old Elvira Clancy works for falls into hard times and she is now being paid per obituary.
When deaths trickle to a halt and work dries up, Elvira soon discovers that by murdering the unpleasant residents in her small town, she will not only earn more money but discovers she has an untapped bloodlust.
Speaking of the new series, Galway based producer Paddy Hayes said after scouting up and down the West coast of Ireland looking for a suitable location, they settled on the Bundoran/ Ballyshannon region.
“We needed a seaside vibe, but also a place that was big enough for a serial killing obituarist to hide – so the combination of the two towns really worked for us.
“I am really proud to be showcasing this corner of Donegal on RTE1, but also screening it worldwide on platforms such as Hulu in the USA,” he said.
Obituary premieres on RTÉ One on Tuesday, September 26 at 10.15pm.
All episodes will be available on RTÉ Player from September 27.
