According to RTE Entertainment, the five-part series will be set during the War of Independence – a time when the Irish Republican Army (IRA) used guerrilla warfare against British security forces in Ireland.

The new drama will have a set core of characters as the conflict in Ireland heads towards the end.

The series will be written, once again, by Colin Teevan.
