Bloodlands actress leads new Disney+ show 'Say Nothing' coming this week

Author: Emma DicksonPublished 12th Nov 2024

This week will see the release of latest Disney+ limited series FX’s 'Say Nothing' - a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

The series is based on the best-selling book by Patrick Radden Keefe, which recently ranked #19 on the New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the 21stCentury.

The series stars Lola Petticrew (Bloodlands) as Dolours Price and Hazel Doupe as Marian Price, young women who became potent symbols of radical politics.

Anthony Boyle (Masters of the Air) stars as Brendan Hughes, a charismatic but conflicted military strategist, and Josh Finan as Gerry Adams, a leading political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA. Maxine Peake stars as older Dolours Price.

What is Say Nothing about?

Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again.

Disney+ writes that ‘Say Nothing’ tells the story of various IRA members, exploring the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.
