\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Crime caper Tall Tales & Murder has racked up more international sales as the team behind the show turn their attention to Season 2. The series bowed on RT\u00c9 in Ireland last month to critical acclaim, and it will soon be on the BBC<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

\n\tFilmin has now nabbed the Avalon<\/a>-distributed show for Portugal and Spain, while Picbox has snagged it for Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

\n\tTall Tales & Murder is based upon the \u2018Dublin Trilogy\u2019 by Caimh McDonnell and landed a two-season order off the bat. Avalon produces the series with Metropolitan Pictures. It is written by Stuart Carolan (Love\/Hate).<\/p>\n

\n\tCo-creator Chris Addison (Veep), was in Cannes last week at MIPCOM, meeting with international execs as Avalon keeps up its distribution push on the series.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe told Deadline how the show has evolved from the books, as he starts to think about the show\u2019s sophomore run.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAny adaptation is going to be different from the source material, it\u2019s just the degree to which it\u2019s different. We left the source material so far behind in the first season that coming into Season 2, you\u2019re off the rock. It\u2019s a whole other world at that point.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe first season starts out slightly odd and goes slowly bananas, so that means the pickup point of Season 2 is bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Tall Tales & Murder cast includes Ella Lily Hyland<\/a> (Black Doves), Aidan Gillen<\/a> (Game of Thrones) and Philippa Dunne (Amandaland).<\/p>\n

\n\tAddison said the show had been built around Hyland, who plays Bridget. \u201cShe\u2019s the most naturally talented actor I\u2019ve ever worked with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tHyland was also in Cannes. The Irish star said Tall Tales & Murder marked her first time shooting on home turf with a local crew.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere was a love on set that is rare,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone worked really hard. It\u2019s fair to say we had limited time to do all of the ambitious things that we wanted to do, so there was a sense of everyone being in it together. It meant a lot to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Iberia and CEE sales on Tall Tales & Murder follow earlier deals with international buyers, including SBS in Australia and ZDF in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Crime caper Tall Tales & Murder has racked up more international sales as the team behind the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[168054,212651,1705,284367,146,85,46,292912,411],"class_list":["post-651195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-aidan-gillen","tag-avalon","tag-bbc","tag-ella-lily-hyland","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tall-tales-murder","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
