Under Salt Marsh is set in Morfa Halen, a fictional Welsh town (that translates to ‘salt marsh’). Nestled between mountains and the unforgiving sea, the tight-knit residents are under threat from their very surroundings.
Reilly’s character, Jackie Ellis, enters as a former detective turned teacher. As a brewing storm comes towards Morfa Halen, Ellis discovers the body of one of her pupils, an eight-year-old called Cefin.
The UK launch of streaming service Paramount+ last month was accompanied by a showbiz spectacle featuring such celebrities as Graham Norton, who presents the service’s drag singing competition, Queen of the Universe, and Kevin Costner, star of Yellowstone. They took to the red carpet and Uma Thurman fronted a star-studded promo video.
It means yet another service will be vying for a share of our steadily depleting entertainment budgets. So how does it compare to the competition?
Well, as the fifth oldest film studio in the world, there will be plenty of classics to sink your teeth into like Mean Girls and Grease, as well as recent blockbusters (and Tom Cruise running showcases) like Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7.
Paramount also announced that, from 2024, all of its feature films will move to the service upon leaving cinemas.
