New details have been revealed as to when audiences will see Tall Tales & Murder, the upcoming "darkly comedic" crime drama from Love/Hate creator Stuart Carolan.
There are eight of these books, the first of which is called A Man with One of Those Faces.
The plot synopsis for that novel says "it tells the story of what happens to Paul Mulchrone when a simple case of mistaken identity leads him into a complicated web of intrigue in which people keep trying to kill him".
"The only people willing to help him are Brigit Conroy, the crime-obsessed nurse who did rather get him into this mess in the first place, and Bunny McGarry, an unconventional old-school copper with whom he has a ‘complicated’ personal history," the description adds.
As part of the unveiling of its upcoming drama slate, RTÉ confirmed that the series will arrive on screens "this autumn".
Filming began on the series in the Republic of Ireland in the early summer of 2025. Addison will also serve as director on the crime drama, along with Neasa Hardiman (Happy Valley, Sea Fever).
It's worth noting that you don't have to worry about Tall Tales & Murder being cancelled after one season. The BBC and RTÉ have already handed the series a two-season order, suggesting they are very confident that the project will be a success.

Alongside Gillen, Tall Tales & Murder's cast includes rising Irish star and Black Doves scene stealer Ella Lily Hyland, as well as Philippa Dunne (Amandaland) and Packy Lee (Peaky Blinders).
