A comedic crime drama adaptation of Caimh McDonnell's 2016 novel A Man With One Of Those Faces has been given the title Tall Tales & Murder. The series is set to premiere in Ireland at 9.40pm IST on Sunday, September 27. Written by Stuart Carolan and directed by Chris Addison and Neasa Hardiman, the show follows a wild adventure involving buried Celtic gold that starts in a Dublin nursing home. The story centers on Bridget (Ella-Lily Hyland) and Paul (Casey Walsh), who discover that their previously comatose patient—played by Aidan Gillen—has regained consciousness and reveals himself to be the legendary gangster Grinner McNair, offering them a share of the treasure. The plot is inspired by a tall tale that connects 8th-century monks, Vikings, and a priceless holy book. The first season of Tall Tales & Murder includes six episodes, with the season 1 finale scheduled to air in Ireland on Sunday, November 1. A second season has already been commissioned, indicating the show's popularity and potential for further development. The cast includes Philippa Dunne as Ma Baker, Packy Lee as Wesley Swanson, Brian Doherty as Detective Bunny Ryan, Kieran O'Reilly as Viking, Fionn Ó Loingsigh as Gitsy, Ian O'Reilly as Waldo Junior, Aisling O'Sullivan as Matron, Mahmoud Aldahchan as Cyclops, and Darragh Shannon as Young Maurice. In Ireland, Tall Tales & Murder will be available for free on RTÉ One and via the RTÉ Player starting September 27. In the UK, the BBC and BBC iPlayer will also air the series, although the exact release date has not been confirmed. For those outside Ireland or the UK, using a virtual private network (VPN) might provide access to the show, though this depends on the terms and conditions of the streaming services involved. The series blends humor with crime and historical elements, offering a lighthearted take on a fictionalized version of Irish folklore. With its mix of comedy and mystery, Tall Tales & Murder aims to entertain audiences while weaving in elements of local history and legend.
