Exclusive: World Productions and Severn Screen, the producers behind ITV/BritBox’s Luke Evans series The Pembrokeshire Murders, are coming together again to make a series on another notorious crime in Wales — the brutal murder of Lynette White in 1998.
Deadline understands that the five-part series is set up at the BBC and will be penned by author and screenwriter Helen Walsh (The Lemon Grove). The Pembrokeshire Murders and Manhunt helmer Marc Evans will direct the project.
The drama tells the true story of White, a sex worker who was stabbed 50 times in the docklands area of Cardiff, and the enormous miscarriage of justice that took place in the hunt for her killer.
The police investigation led to the arrest of five local Black and mixed-race men, three of whom were found guilty. A sustained campaign for justice finally freed the wrongfully accused men, and attention turned to the hunt for Lynette’s real killer.

After the events of season two, Dci Tom Mathias (Richard Harrington) is on the hunt for Iwan Thomas (Geraint Morgan). When Thomas is found dead though, Mathias is soon under suspicion in an investigation that will discover a cover-up connected to an old case that threatens to create a rift with the whole team.
Season three of Hinterland is interesting because it brings in a conspiracy that goes right to the top, and connects to the past. While each of the four episodes has a case to be solved to keep things moving, the hunt for the killer of Iwan Thomas is an the on-going overall story arc.
The problem with the case of course is that it threatens to unravel the cover-up, which people don’t want to be revealed.

When it comes to ghost stories, I’m not the biggest fan. Even though I often get irrational fears such as someone grabbing my foot as I walk up the stairs or seeing a distorted reflection in the mirror when you I go for a pee in the middle of the night, I really don’t believe in ghosts or outside forces. When it comes to films about ghosts, I’m even less of a fan. How many times do I have to suffer cheap orchestra stabs when the ghost pops up in front of the camera? You know the score and you’re probably tired of it too. Thankfully, with The Passing (original title: Yr Ymadawiad), Gareth Bryn and a selection of those involved with the critically acclaimed police detective drama series Hinterland...

Long, lonely sessions of digging and praying suggest there will be blood in this chilling Welsh-language drama
A rare Welsh-language release, this handsome S4C-produced chiller sustains itself for a while on the wordless rhythms and textures in the life of woodsman Stanley (Mark Lewis Jones): long, lonely rounds of digging and praying promise there will eventually be blood. His routine is disrupted when young lovers (Annes Elwy and Dyfan Dwyfor) plunge their car into a nearby stream. So begins a period of increasingly tense cohabitation as repressed memories and emotions are hauled to the surface like water from the local well. This gradual excavation, with its spectral presences, may disappoint those who demand more bang for their buck. Yet it’s assuredly played, and its melancholy look and feel – with fading photographs of brighter, better days – ensures it lingers longer in the mind than most homegrown genre fare.

The Passing
Written by Ed Talfan
Directed by Gareth Bryn
UK, 2015
The Passing unfolds like a nightmare masquerading as a beautiful dream. The startling debut of Welsh director Gareth Bryn conceals all of its ugly secrets until escape is no longer an option. Its languid pacing and rustic beauty build an almost unbearable tension that threatens to explode at any moment. Ultimately, The Passing is a masterstroke of allegory and mood that continues to haunt long after it’s over.
Stanley (Mark Lewis Jones) lives alone. He’s always lived alone. The curtains in his dilapidated house whip in the cold country wind, and electricity is a luxury that never penetrated this desolate wilderness. Every day this hulking, gentle man toils in his deep well, shoveling mud into a bucket and hoisting it to the surface. At night he reminisces over his carefully-preserved family photos and the carved animal figurines...

The landscape of the detective genre is one that has been trampled underfoot by many a detective in recent years, who during a prolific spell have haunted the landscape with their habitual misery and eccentricity. The source of this richness is primarily imported from the shores of mainland Europe and America, the latter of which has responded to the wave of European crime dramas, The Killing and The Bridge the apex of these with a tour de force all of their own – True Detective. Whilst in England we are delving into the past of Endeavour Morse and busily springing Sherlock Holmes from his Victorian trappings, a detective who Wales can call its own has emerged to haunt the ground alongside his English speaking and foreign contemporaries. His name is Tom Mathias.
