Channel 4 releases first look at new Ireland-shot thriller show

The series stars two Irish actors.

The six-part show launches next month and was created by comedian David Baddiel with critic Peter Bradshaw. Its story is kicked off by Alice Bell, a former nurse and the accomplice of a notorious anaesthetist serial killer (played by Simon Pegg, Mission: Impossible), living in Britain under a new identity.

When Fran Da Silva (Alexandra Roach - Nightsleeper, Lazarus) is accused online of being Alice Bell, her happy family life implodes in a wave of mob hate. She then discovers she’s not the only woman to suffer this fate.

"Fran and the other accused women band together to fight back and clear their names," the plot synopsis adds.

"But as they battle to prove their innocence, what if one of the group is lying - and is the real Alice Bell…?"

The series was filmed in County Wicklow last year. Irish musician Daithí also composed the show's score.

Hunting Alice Bell will launch on Channel 4 in November.
