    Last month The Times reported that it will air in April.

    I've been looking forward to it since last October.

    Seems to be a high likelihood of a second series.
    The first five-part series of The Fall is due to begin on BBC Two in May and writer Allan Cubitt has already begun work on a second. Asked if she could see herself reprising the role for future series, Gillian said: "Yes, definitely."

    I've seen a few ads for this on RTE lately plugging it as "home grown drama". From the credits I can find it seems to be a BBC/Northern Ireland Screen Board production, filmed entirely in Belfast.

    Did RTE actually have any involvement in it whatsoever?

    That would explain why RTE are apparently showing the first episode before the BBC.

    Having said that, I suspect any RTE input was minimal, even their own website describes it as a BBC Drama :rolleyes:
    The X-Files' Gillian Anderson is to play the lead role of a detective superintendent in The Fall, BBC Two's new psychological thriller about the hunt for a serial killer in Belfast.

    It's home grown in so far as it was filmed in Ireland but I've looked and so far I can find no connection that RTE has with it.
    The series was created and written by Allan Cubitt and is being produced for BBC Two by Artists Studio and BBC Northern Ireland, with funding from Northern Ireland Screen and the European Regional Development Fund.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_(TV_series)
    The Fall is a new television series produced by Fables Limited in association with Artists Studio for BBC Two, commissioned by BBC Northern Ireland, with funding from Northern Ireland Screen.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/the-fall.html


    Well I did find this from the Herald
    But now the flame-haired Gillian Anderson is set to star in a new RTE drama.
    Gillian has starred in a number of high-profile roles since her days alongside Agent Mulder (David Duchovny), and is hopeful a new BBC/RTE co-production drama will be another hit.

    RTE claiming 'The Fall' was a co-production here ...
    A BBC/RTÉ co-production rather than a straightforward acquisition, this brand new five-part drama set in Northern Ireland stars former X-Files star Gillian Anderson and follows a PSNI investigation into a string of recent homicides

    There are some reviews of the series online.
    Considering that the killer is known from the start they don't contain spoilers.
    The Fall is, hands down, one of the best home-grown dramas I’ve seen in several years, with the final episode being one of tensest hours of television I can recall since 24 went off the air.

    Hollyoaks from 1995 to around the mid-2000s (i.e. when it was a proper teen soap), surely?

    Got a reply from RTE about this yesterday. They've had no involvement in making it. Apparently it's "homegrown" because most of the cast are Irish, and because it's filmed in Belfast. Ffs :rolleyes:

    If that is the case then I don't understand how RTE are airing the show before the BBC who made it. That would be totally unprecedented.

    Why aren't they claiming Game of Thrones as homegrown? I mean, aren't there one or two Irish actors and some of it is also filmed in Belfast?
