Siobhán Cullen is a Writer in Crime Comedy Series ‘Obituary’ Trailer

Obituary Trailer

“If my purpose in life is to kill, I think I’ll make some rules.” Hulu has unveiled an official trailer for an Irish crime comedy series called Obituary, created by the Irish writer Ray Lawlor from a small West of Ireland town. It’ll be out to watch streaming in the US this November. Obituary is a dark comedy in which a small town newspaper falls into hard times and 24-year-old Obituarist Elvira Clancy learns she’ll now be paid per obituary. When deaths trickle to a halt and her work dries up, she soon discovers that by murdering the residents of her small town, she will not only earn more money but also discover an untapped bloodlust. Her plans are shaken when she falls for the new crime reporter. “This is a fun, darkly twisted drama that proudly allows me to transport some of the wit and characters I encounter every day in my hometown of Castlebar into the living rooms of the Irish people,” Lawlor explains. Siobhán Cullen stars as Elvira, with Michael Smiley, Ronan Raftery, Danielle Galligan, David Ganly, and Michael Hough. A wicked little series. // Continue Reading ›

    Hulu’s “Sasquatch” is a modern true-crime doc of a rare breed: rarely have they felt as nerve-racking, dangerous, and truly scary.
