“We need to find the real Bodkin. Bad things happen here just like everywhere else.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a streaming series arriving this summer titled Bodkin, set in Ireland in an idyllic Irish town. Described as a “dark comedy thriller” about podcasters who get lost chasing a cold case. Obviously a riff on the true crime craze! Produced by the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions. A group of podcasters set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in an idyllic Irish town. When they start to pull the strings, they find a story much bigger and stranger than they could have imagined. The series stars Siobhán Cullen as Dove, Robyn Cara as Emmy, Chris Walley as Sean O’Shea, David Wilmot as Seamus, and Will Forte as Gilbert. It was filmed in Dublin, Wicklow, and West Cork, and it looks gorgeous. Of course it also reminds of the Black Mirror episode “Loch Henry”. This looks dang good! I like the footage and the super sly, extra dark humor worked into another crime mystery plot. Seems worth a watch after all.

Here’s the first official trailer for Jez Scharf’s series Bodkin, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:

Bodkin is a dark comedic thriller about a motley crew of podcasters (Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen, Robyn Cara) who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a quaint, coastal Irish town. Once they start pulling at threads, they discover a story much bigger and weirder than they could have ever imagined. As our heroes try to discern fact from fiction — about the case, about their colleagues, and, most painfully, themselves — the series challenges our perception of truth and exposes the stories we tell ourselves to justify our beliefs or validate our fears. Bodkin is a series created, written by and showrun by writer Jez Scharf, making his first series after numerous short films previously. It’s also co-showrun by Alex Metcalf. Featuring episodes directed by Nash Edgerton, Bronwen Hughes, Johnny Allan, and Paddy Breathnach. A Higher Ground production. Executive produced by David Flynn, Paul Lee, Nne Ebong, Tonia Davis, Barack & Michelle Obama, Tonia Davis, Nash Edgerton, Alex Metcalf, & Jez Scharf. Netflix will debut the Bodkin series streaming on Netflix worldwide starting May 9th, 2024 coming soon. Who’s interested?
