CRIME drama, Smother which was filmed Lahinch is to return to TV screens in the New Year.

Regarded as one of the breakout Irish TV shows of this year, season two of Smother is set to begin airing every Sunday on RTÉ ONE from January 9th.

Clare’s rugged coast played a vital role in adding to the drama with the waves of Lahinch tying in perfectly with the thriller which centred on dark goings on with the Ahern family residents of Moy House and the mysterious clifftop death of fall guy daddy Denis.

Seána Kerslake who plays Grace on the show was confident viewers would be kept on their toes when Smother returns. “If you thought there was drama and confusion in season one, there’s going to be even more this time round for sure”.

Weather conditions and the pandemic delayed filming for the first series but breaks in production have been few and far between for series two.

Dervla Kirwan heads up the strong female cast starring as family matriarch with Seána, Gemma-Leah Devereux and Niamh Walsh acting as her daughters. Former Fair City actor, James O’Donoghue was regarded as one of the stars from series one.
