Crime Show 'Tall Tales' Secures Global Sales

The crime series 'Tall Tales & Murder,' which recently premiered on RTÉ in Ireland to critical acclaim, has achieved substantial international sales. Filmin has acquired distribution rights for Portugal and Spain, while Picbox has secured the series for Central and Eastern Europe. This follows earlier deals with broadcasters in Australia and Germany.

The show, produced by Avalon and Metropolitan Pictures, is based on Caimh McDonnell's 'Dublin Trilogy' and was initially ordered for two seasons. Writer Stuart Carolan and co-creator Chris Addison are already focusing on the development of Season 2. Addison noted that the adaptation has significantly diverged from the source material, with the second season venturing into entirely new territory.

The cast, featuring Ella Lily Hyland, Aidan Gillen, and Philippa Dunne, has garnered praise, particularly Hyland, who leads the series as Bridget. Hyland shared that filming in Ireland with a local crew fostered a unique sense of camaraderie on set, despite tight production schedules. The team's efforts have contributed to the show's growing international appeal.
