Dead and Buried (2024)

Production Note - Limited Series

Dead and Buried (2024) is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 4-episode run in September 2024. The production was commissioned as a psychological thriller for BBC Northern Ireland and Virgin Media Television, focusing on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between a grieving woman and the man responsible for her brother's death. Written by Colin Bateman and based on his own stage play, the series was constructed with a specific, self-contained narrative trajectory that prioritizes emotional resolution over potential franchise expansion.

Filmed on location in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the project utilized a tight four-part structure to maintain suspense and thematic focus on the complexity of trauma and revenge. The creative team designed the series to explore the moral ambiguity of its characters within a fixed timeline, ensuring that the central conflict reached a definitive end. Because the source material was adapted from a singular theatrical work, the production was treated as a complete cinematic event rather than a recurring television program.
