Acorn TV has set Monday, August 11, 2025, for the premiere of Irish Blood, a new six-part mystery led by Alicia Silverstone, who also executive produces.
The series follows Fiona (Silverstone), a woman who spent her life blaming her estranged father Declan (played by Jason O’Mara) for abandoning her and her mother when she was ten. But when Fiona receives a cryptic message, she’s pulled back to Ireland and into a web of lies that upend everything she believed. The trip reveals not just a hidden family but a buried criminal past—and the truth behind the story she was told as a child.
New episodes will roll out weekly on Mondays in the U.S. and Canada.
The cast includes Wendy Crewson, Dearbhla Molloy, Simone Kirby, Ruth Codd, and Leonardo Taiwo, joining Silverstone and O’Mara in what Acorn is pitching as a layered blend of family drama and crime thriller.
Irish Blood is directed by Molly McGlynn and executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Paul Donovan, Ailish McElmeel, Aaron Martin, Christina Ray, Silverstone, and McGlynn.
The show is a co-production between Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures, in association with AMC Studios. It also benefited from multiple production incentives, including support from the Irish Film Industry, Ontario Creates, and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.
Irish Blood continues Acorn TV’s push into original dramas with a global edge and headline talent.
