Jamie Dornan leads gripping new drama Death and Nightingales on BBC Two, which kicks off this evening.
The Fifty Shades star fronts the latest three-part miniseries to hit the broadcaster - an adaptation of the 1992 novel of the same name.
Reuniting Dornan with The Fall director Allan Cubitt, the drama is a complex tale of love, deception, betrayal and revenge in the setting of picturesque Northern Ireland.
Here is everything you need to know…
What is Death and Nightingales about?
Set in the beautiful yet haunting countryside of Fermanagh in 1885, Death and Nightingales tells the story of 23-year-old Beth Winters, a young girl desperate to escape the confines of her life under the rule of her staunch Protestant dad Billy.
Having met a handsome and mysterious man named Liam Ward, played by Dornan, Beth grapples with her decisions and feelings as she tries to follow her heart and run into the arms of Liam, finding her destiny.
But the path to happiness isn’t a smooth one for Beth, who finds herself trapped between two worlds with actions that could rip two very different families apart.
Who stars in Death and Nightingales?
Dornan takes centre stage as Liam Ward alongside Ann Skelly who plays Beth Winters. Skelly first appeared on the BBC last year in Little Women, playing Annie Moffat in a minor part. Death and Nightingales will be her the Irish soap actress’ first starring role on the network.
The Americans actor Matthew Rhys stars as Billy while Dornan’s The Fall co-star Valene Kane is Beth’s Catholic mother Catherine.
When is Death and Nightingales on?
Death and Nightingales starts Wednesday November 28 at 9pm on BBC Two. Episodes will be available shortly after on iPlayer.
