ITV and Virgin Media Television co-commission crime drama, Redemption.
The six-part drama stars Paula Malcomson plain speaking, no-nonsense DI Colette Cunningham, whose fearless approach to policing has earned her the respect of her Merseyside Police Serious Crime Squad colleagues.
“Supporting and developing Irish content with global ambition has been a key pillar of VMTV’s strategy and we are delighted to partner with ITV for what promises to be a thrilling new Irish drama in Redemption. The quality of the scripts had me gripped from the off and I can’t wait to see it on screen.” – Virgin Media Television, Director of Content, Bill Malone
Colette’s strength of character is tested when she takes a call from Garda Sergeant Luke Byrne in Dublin. The body of a young woman has been found and Colette is listed as the next of kin.
Colette is initially unphased by this – the name of the victim holding no significance to her – however a second call from the officer with a description of the victim renders her speechless.
She takes the next ferry to Dublin to identify the body of her missing daughter, Kate. Kate left home 20 years ago aged 16 and clearly didn’t want to be found.
With her life turned upside down, a grief-stricken Colette resolves to stay in Ireland to work for the Garda. But what will she unearth about the events leading up to Kate’s death, and the life that her daughter built for herself?
Filming for Redemption will commence in April 2021 in Dublin, Ireland.
