Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

FX’s limited series Say Nothing is a gripping account of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The 9-episode series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe.

Spanning four decades, Say Nothing explores the tumultuous period in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles. The series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again.

Through the eyes of various IRA members, Say Nothing explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for both victims and perpetrators, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.

The series stars Lola Petticrew as “Dolours Price” and Hazel Doupe as “Marian Price,” impetuous young women who became potent symbols of radical politics. Anthony Boyle stars as “Brendan Hughes,” a charismatic but conflicted military strategist, and Josh Finan as “Gerry Adams,” a savvy political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA. Maxine Peake stars as “Older Dolours Price.”

Say Nothing is executive produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force, showrunner Josh Zetumer, Patrick Radden Keefe, Edward McDonnell, Monica Levinson and Northern Ireland native Michael Lennox. The series is produced by FX Productions.
