As a seasoned cinema enthusiast with a penchant for dark comedies and a soft spot for Irish productions, I must say that the news of “Obituary” returning for a second season has me dancing an Irish jig of joy! The first season was a delightful mix of witty writing, captivating performances, and a unique premise that had me hooked from the very first episode.
Irish comedy “Obituary” is prepping for a second season, EbMaster has learned.
The well-liked dark comedy spotlights Siobhán Cullen as a financially struggling obituarist who resorts to homicide; it’s penned by Ray Lawlor. (Paraphrased)
It appears that Season 2 will consist of six episodes, as I understand, with Lawlor resuming his role in writing the scripts. The original production companies, Magamedia and APC Studios, are back on board, and Hulu is providing financial support for this season.
It’s not yet certain if the show will be renewed, considering that its main actor, Cullen, is likely to be involved given his recent roles in “The Dry” and Netflix’s “Bodkin.”
In the first season of “Obituary,” broadcasted on Irish network RTE, we follow Cullen as Elvira Clancy, an obituary writer, who takes control when her assignments start dwindling. Eventually, a crime reporter at the local newspaper becomes intrigued by the murders and begins investigating – all while developing feelings for Clancy.
In Season 1, we also saw Michael Smiley (from “Bad Sisters”), Danielle Galligan (“Shadow and Bone”), Ronan Rafferty (“The Rook”), David Ganly (“Body of Lies”), and Noni Stapleton make appearances.
24-year-old Elvira Clancy, who cherishes her role as an obituary writer, experiences a sense of dissatisfaction when her newspaper encounters financial difficulties and her boss reduces her salary to per-obituary payments. In a strange twist of fate, Elvira unwittingly ends the life of a loathsome local resident. To her surprise, she finds herself drawn to the thrill of eliminating the town’s unpleasant characters, disguising their deaths as accidents. As she perfects her methods, she becomes more and more engrossed in this macabre pastime. However, complications arise when the newspaper brings on a new crime correspondent whom Elvira finds herself inexplicably attracted to…
The series filmed in Donegal premiered on RTE in Ireland last September, then on Hulu in November. Led by directors John Hayes (“Dublin Murders”) and Oonagh Kearney (“Vardy vs Rooney”), it was praised as reminiscent of “Dexter” and garnered multiple awards at the Irish Film and Television Awards, including for best drama series and best actress.
Reps for Hulu didn’t respond by press time.
