New series MUDTOWN begins 20th August on U&Alibi

MUDTOWN, the new six-part series, created and written by Hannah Daniel & Georgia Lee, starts going out from 9pm on 20th August on U&Alibi, Sky and Virgin Media. A gritty drama centred around a magistrate in a Welsh criminal court, it’s a strikingly fresh take on the procedural crime drama and an utterly gripping watch.

Experienced Magistrate Claire Lewis Jones (Erin Richards) faces personal turmoil while presiding over cases at Newport Magistrates Court. When Ned Humphries, a childhood friend of Beca, Claire's daughter, faces arson charges, Claire's loyalty to her community is put to the test. Matters are made worse when local criminal kingpin Saint Pete (Tom Cullen) appears on the scene. Claire and Saint Pete go back a long way – will her past come back to threaten her present? As she delves deeper into the case, and suspicions grow around her daughter's new bad-boy boyfriend, Sonny Higgins, Claire uncovers a web of criminal activity that could put her and her family at risk.

As the truth emerges and consequences unfold, Claire must confront her own biases and decisions. The lines between right and wrong become blurred, leaving Claire in muddy waters as her maternal instincts clash with her commitment to uphold the law.

Hannah and Georgia have written all six episodes. Don't miss it!
