Siobhán McSweeney is among the cast of Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, a new mystery thriller series from best-selling author Anthony Horowitz that is currently filming in the Canary Islands.
The BBC has acquired the UK rights to the show, which is produced by Eleventh Hour Films, a Sony Pictures Television-backed company, for the cable network MGM+ in the US.
Joining Derry Girls star McSweeney in the series are Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), David Ajala (Star Trek: Discovery), Lydia Wilson (The Swarm), Peter Gadiot (Yellowjackets), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Tourist), Adam Long (Happy Valley), and Jan Le (The Capture).
"In the six-part series, a plane carrying a small group of passengers, crew and pilot, crashes in the Mexican jungle," says the BBC.
"All the bodies are recovered and placed in a morgue... but it turns out that only one of them died in the crash.
"The other passengers were murdered afterwards, each one in a unique way. But by whom? And why?
"As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, the many dangers of the jungle... and each other.
"The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic as, one by one, they are dispatched with a series of shocks that bring us ever closer to the truth and - at the very end - a jaw-dropping reveal."
Author Horowitz is the writer, creator, and executive producer of the series.
Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, added: "Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue is an ingenious, original, and suspenseful murder mystery multiplied by nine! It is absolutely guaranteed to keep viewers riveted to their screens until the very end."
