FX’s limited series SAY NOTHING is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The 9-episode series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe.

Spanning four decades, 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.

Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (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 all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.

The series stars rising Irish actress Lola Pettigrew as Dolours Price. Pettigrew has garnered attention for her powerful performances in films like DATING AMBER (2020), where she played the lead role of Amber, and HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN (2020). She earned critical acclaim for her role in the BBC drama THREE FAMILIES (2021) and has demonstrated her range in theatrical productions across Ireland and the UK. Her casting as Dolours Price follows her notable turn in ROGUE AGENT (2022) alongside James Norton and Gemma Arterton.

Alongside Pettigrew, Hazel Doupe stars as Marian Price, Anthony Boyle as Brendan Hughes, a charismatic but conflicted military strategist, and Josh Finan as Gerry Adams, a leading 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, creator Joshua Zetumer, Patrick Radden Keefe, Edward McDonnell, Monica Levinson and Northern Ireland native Michael Lennox. The series is produced by FX Productions.
