THE LIGHT IN THE HALL RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES ON S4C AND CHANNEL 4, LEADING CAST REVEALED
Y Golau: Dŵr (Still Waters) will go into production in early October. This is the second season for this thrilling mystery and will be produced in partnership with Triongl/APC and Channel 4.
Season two is set in the fictional village of Llanemlyn and features an impressive ensemble cast including Sian Reese-Williams, Mark Lewis-Jones and Robert Glenister.
Season one of Y Golau premiered on S4C in May 2022 and was a ratings hit, with an English language version televised on Channel 4, featuring Joanna Scanlan, Alexandra Roach and Iwan Rheon. This new season will return with a mainly new all-star cast.
In the first series, journalist Cat Donato (Roach), originally from the same town as Ela Roberts, has always been obsessed by her murder. For Cat, it was personal. Ela had been part of her circle of friends but prior to her murder Ela had been ostracised over a silly teenage squabble, a fact that Cat has tried her best to forget.
Ela’s mother, Sharon Roberts (Scanlan) has never stopped grieving the loss of her daughter. Still disturbed by her memories of that last day, Sharon needs resolution. Joe Pritchard (Rheon), a quiet, unassuming gardener, was arrested for Ela’s murder after her DNA was found at his caravan. Joe confessed to killing Ela but wouldn’t, or couldn’t, say why or what he did with her body.
The news of Joe’s parole hearing and the prospect of his release causes both women to confront the past and the part they played in Ela’s final days. For Cat it’s a chance to write the true events surrounding the murder and for Sharon a chance to confront the man who killed her child.
With so many questions unanswered, Joe’s return to the community could be a way to get to the bottom of the mystery once and for all. If Joe Pritchard did kill Ela, why did he do it, and where is the body?
More details will be announced in due course.
