Actress Elen Rhys takes on a new challenge in her first major Welsh-language role in the upcoming S4C crime drama “Cleddau.” Known for her work in projects like “The Mallorca Files” and “Panic Button,” Rhys returns to her roots in this emotionally charged and psychologically driven thriller.
“Cleddau,” an original six-part series, follows DI Ffion Lloyd (Rhys) as she partners with her ex-lover, DS Rick Walters (played by Richard Harrington), to unravel a mysterious death in a tranquil Welsh coastal town. Their investigation stirs up strong emotions and brings past memories to the surface.
The series, filmed on location in the stunning Pembrokeshire region and south Wales, boasts a talented Welsh cast, including Rhian Blythe, Ioan Hefin, Aled Pugh, Mali Ann Rees, Will Thomas, Sharon Morgan, and Hannah Daniel. The screenplay is written by Cath Tregenna, a native of west Wales, who has also contributed to shows such as “Three Pines,” “Law & Order UK,” and “DCI Banks.”
“Cleddau” presents a blend of crime-solving and intricate character dynamics, all set against the beautiful and intriguing backdrop of Wales. The show is produced by Blacklight for S4C, with Banijay Rights handling distribution. An English-language version, titled “The One That Got Away,” will also be available for international audiences.
