A Disney+ series partially filmed at a west Dorset beach is set to be released this month.

Say Nothing is based on the New York Times Best Selling Book of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe.

The limited series follows a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

The series produced by FX Productions will drop on Disney+ on November 14.

Last year, film crews were spotted on West Bexington beach and the adjacent car park, with a prop police car with the words Garda across the side, which is the national police and security service of Ireland.

Residents of West Bexington also saw a hole being dug, and some small shelters and props including bunches of flowers.

Spanning a time period of four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten from Belfast who was abducted from her home in 1972 and murdered by the IRA.

Mrs McConville’s body was recovered on Louth beach in 2003, ending a four-year search.

Across nine episodes, the show will tell the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, exploring the extremes that some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.

Disney+ has dropped the trailer for the upcoming series which can be seen below:

The series stars Lola Petticrew (Tuesday) as Dolours Price and Hazel Doupe as Marian Price, young women who became potent symbols of radical politics, Anthony Boyle (Derry Girls) stars as Brendan Hughes, a charismatic but conflicted military strategist.

Maxine Peake (Dinnerladies) also stars as an older Dolours Price and Josh Finan as Gerry Adams, a leading political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA.
