The FX limited series based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland has a premiere date, Deadline reports.
The series’ nine episodes will begin streaming on Hulu on Nov. 14 in the U.S., and on Disney+ on the same day in the U.K., Ireland, and several other countries.
Keefe’s book, published in 2019 by Doubleday, is a history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland—the 30-year conflict between Irish nationalists and U.K. loyalists—that focuses on the murder of Jean McConville by the Irish Republican Army.
In a starred review, a critic for Kirkus called the book “a harrowing story of politically motivated crime that could not have been better told.” The book won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the Kirkus Prize.
The series adaptation stars Lola Petticrew (Tuesday), Anthony Boyle (Masters of the Air), Josh Finan (The Responder), Hazel Doupe (The Miracle Club), and Megan Cusack (Call the Midwife). Keefe is an executive producer of the show.
Keefe’s New Yorker article “The Family That Built an Empire of Pain" partially formed the basis for the 2023 miniseries Painkiller, and his book The Snakehead is currently in the works as a television series.
Michael Schaub is a contributing writer.
