Award winning Irish language crime drama CR\u00c1<\/strong> returns to TG4 on Tuesday 3 November 2026<\/strong>, with all six episodes of the new series available on TG4+ that same night. *TG4+ is the new & improved version of the TG4 Player (TG4.ie).<\/em>
\n 
\nFollowing the breakout success of series one, which sold to 68 territories worldwide under the international title Boglands, the new series returns to Gaoth Dobhair with a darker, more ambitious story centred on Garda Conall \u00d3 S\u00failleabh\u00e1in, played by D\u00f3nall \u00d3 H\u00e9ala\u00ed.
\n 
\nNow a trainee detective, Conall must navigate new cases, divided loyalties and the consequences of his past as the series explores the personal and professional lives of law enforcers operating in a lawless borderland.
\n 
\nSeries one concluded with Garda Conall \u00d3 S\u00failleabh\u00e1in, discovering the truth about what happened to his mother, Sabine, whose body was found mysteriously buried in a bog.
\nThis is a series about consequences, shaped by place, haunted by the past and driven by the people who inhabit the razor\u2019s edge between good and evil. Darkly funny, twist laden and binge worthy, CR\u00c1 series two follows Conall, who must confront his past in order to secure a future.
\n 
\nM\u00e1ire N\u00ed Chonl\u00e1in, TG4 Commissioning Editor<\/strong>, said:
\n\u201cCR\u00c1 made a strong impact with audiences in its first series and we are delighted to welcome it back. Series two brings a gripping new story, a brilliant cast and the distinctive Gaoth Dobhair setting that audiences connected with so strongly. \u201d<\/em>
