A small Welsh village is on the edge, battered by a storm that threatens not just homes, but the secrets that have lingered for years.

At the heart of the story is Jackie Ellis, played by Kelly Reilly, a former detective now turned teacher, who is drawn back into investigation when the village is rocked by a discovery that reopens an old tragedy. She’s reluctantly reunited with her former police partner, Eric Bull, portrayed by Rafe Spall, whose decision to give his character a Brummie accent adds an unexpected layer of realism and local texture to the drama. Their dynamic carries the series, a compelling mix of professional history and personal stakes, as they race against both human deception and nature’s fury.
What makes this series particularly engaging is how it blends the atmospheric elements of a thriller with human drama. The storm looming over Morfa Halen isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a ticking clock, a physical representation of the pressure the characters face. Every revelation, every confrontation, carries the weight of potential disaster. For viewers, it’s not just about solving the crime—it’s about witnessing a community grapple with its past before it’s swept away.
For international audiences, the show offers more than suspense; it’s a glimpse into life in a Welsh coastal village, enriched by accents, local culture and the palpable sense of place that the cast and crew have worked to capture. Reilly describes it as a “coming home” experience and Spall’s commitment to authenticity with his Brummie accent underlines the care taken to make every detail feel real.
Under Salt Marsh premieres on Sky and streaming platform NOW on January 30th, promising a gripping combination of mystery, human drama and natural spectacle. Stay with us for continuing coverage and insights as the story unfolds and don’t miss the chance to see this storm-hit village and its secrets come to life on screen.
