Irish crime comedy series Tall Tales & Murder is expanding its reach to the UK following its initial premiere in Ireland last September. Adapted from the novels by Caimh McDonnell and commissioned jointly by RTE and the BBC, the six-part show features a notable cast led by Aiden Gillen alongside Casey Walsh, Philippa Dunne, and Aisling O'Sullivan. Even before the rollout concludes, a second season has already been confirmed.
The plot kicks off when a character named Grinner, played by Gillen, wakes up inside a care home claiming knowledge of a hidden hoard of Celtic gold. This revelation triggers an unpredictable treasure hunt intertwined with a much darker backstory. Alongside the comedic tone, viewers can expect elements of paranoia, revenge, chaos, and encounters with underworld drug dealers across the six episodes.
Audiences in the UK can watch the first season of Tall Tales & Murder completely free starting November 2 via BBC iPlayer. Accessing the streaming platform requires a valid UK TV licence and a local postcode, such as SE1 7PB. Viewers currently traveling or residing outside the UK who want to tune into the free stream can utilize a virtual private network to bypass regional restrictions.
