‘Yellowstone’ Star Kelly Reilly to Lead Sky Original Crime Thriller ‘Under Salt Marsh’

As a devoted fan of gripping crime thrillers, I am absolutely ecstatic about the upcoming Sky Original series, “Under Salt Marsh,” starring the exceptionally talented Kelly Reilly! Her acting prowess has always left me in awe, and this new role seems tailor-made for her.


Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly will lead a new Sky Original crime thriller titled Under Salt Marsh.

As the game designer, director, and executive producer known as Claire Oakley (creator of “Make Up”), I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be rolling cameras on our new project, “Under Salt Marsh,” later in 2022. Can’t wait to dive into this exciting new world!

Located in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, a close-knit community lies sandwiched between towering mountains and a relentless sea that is slowly eroding its foundations. As an ominous storm brews far out at sea, former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis (Reilly) stumbles upon the lifeless body of her eight-year-old student, Cefin, who appears to have drowned. This grim discovery sends a tremor through the community, reawakening the specter of an unsolved cold case that shook the town three years ago – the disappearance of Jackie’s niece, Nessa, which ultimately led to her resignation from the police force.

“Showrunner Oakley stated, ‘Under Salt Marsh’ is a gripping crime drama that unfolds in a community closely tied to its natural surroundings, and explores the sorrows, anxieties, aspirations, and hidden truths of its residents. The story revolves around Jackie, a character who symbolizes the untamed spirit of the setting. She’s adventurous, empathetic, resilient, and relentless – traits that make her an authentic embodiment of the land. We’re incredibly excited to see Kelly Reilly breathe life into this captivating character.”

As a dedicated viewer, I’m excited to share that the captivating series “Under Salt Marsh” hails from Little Door Productions, in partnership with Sky Studios. This compelling narrative is masterfully crafted by the brilliant minds of Claire Oakley, Jonathan Harbottle, and Nikita Lalwani. Among these talented creators, Oakley takes on the role of lead director, while Mary Nighy skillfully directs episodes three and four.

The series titled “Under Salt Marsh” is set to air on both Sky and a streaming platform within the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Italy. International distribution rights for the show have been acquired by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.
