EDMONTON – Super Channel announced Tuesday a new Canada/Ireland co-produced crime thriller series, Clean Sweep, will premiere on Super Channel Fuse on Sept. 3 at 9 p.m. ET.
The six-episode series was produced by Montreal’s Incendo Media and Ireland’s ShinAwiL. Each 60-minute episode will be available on Super Channel on Demand the day following its weekly linear broadcast.
“Starring Charlene McKenna (Bloodlands, Peaky Blinders), the suspenseful Irish series is told from the point-of-view of the killer who is also, unusually, a self-sacrificing mother and wife,” reads a synopsis in a press release. “Shelly Mohan (McKenna) is a super mom. Her secret power? Multitasking. She juggles the complex lives and schedules of three kids, ages 10, 11 and 15. Her days are filled with cooking and cleaning, shopping and chauffeuring and somehow manages to have a home-cooked meal on the table by the time her husband Jason (Barry Ward, Anne Boleyn, Des), a Galway Garda detective, arrives home every night. It’s chaotic and hectic and mostly thankless but it is a life Shelly is happy with. But when a dark secret emerges from her past, she makes a fatal choice to prevent the truth from surfacing.”
Other cast members include Cathy Belton (Hidden Assets), Katelyn Rose Downey (The Princess), Adam Fergus (Harry Wild), Trevor Kaneswaran (Line of Duty), Rhys Mannion (It Is in Us All), Aidan McCann (Bad Sisters) and Jeanne Nicole Ní Áinle (SisterS).
Clean Sweep is created and cowritten by Gary Tieche (Preacher, I Know What You Did Last Summer). Executive producers of the series include Jin Ishimoto, Patty Lenahan Ishimoto, Harvey Myman, Larry Bass, Mary Callery, Aaron Farrell, Graham Ludlow, Jean-Philippe Normandeau, Shari Segal, Gary Tieche and Charlene McKenna. The series is distributed internationally by ZDF Studios.
