Welsh-language pubcaster S4C has commissioned six-part murder mystery series Cleddau (aka The One That Got Away) for broadcast in late 2024.

Produced by Banijay-backed BlackLight Television, it is being filmed in both Welsh and English versions. Banijay Rights is handling international distribution.

Filming has started in Pembroke Dock, Wales, and follows the investigation into the murder of a nurse in a small town which reunites two former lovers who are tasked with finding the killer.

The drama stars Elen Rhys (The Mallorca Files), Richard Harrington (Hinterland) and Rhian Blythe (The Light in the Hall).

Gwenllian Gravelle, S4C’s drama commissioner, said: “We’re delighted to be working alongside Banijay and Blacklight TV on such a suspenseful series.

“We can’t wait for our viewers to watch this tense, gripping crime thriller which never once loses momentum. With a stellar Welsh cast and a fabulous location, it’s going to be a real treat.”
