Irish Blood (Acorn TV) -- S: Alicia Silverstone, Jason O'Mara -- Premieres 8/11/25



Today, Acorn TV unveiled the official trailer for its all-new crime drama series, Irish Blood, starring and executive produced by Award-winning actress Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Bugonia) which premieres on Monday, August 11, exclusively on Acorn TV in the U.S. and Canada, with new episodes releasing weekly on Mondays.

A six-part murder mystery, Irish Blood focuses on Fiona (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan (Jason O'Mara, The Man In The High Castle, The Good Wife), who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After years of channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn't know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life - was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father's shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.

In addition to Silverstone and O'Mara, Wendy Crewson (We Were Liars, Tracker), Dearbhla Molloy (Wild Mountain Thyme, Rendezvous), Simone Kirby (His Dark Materials, Kneecap), Ruth Codd (The Fall of the House of Usher) and Leonardo Taiwo (Wheel of Time, Ant-Man & The Wasp) also star.

Irish Blood is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Paul Donovan, Ailish McElmeel, Aaron Martin, Christina Ray, Silverstone and Molly McGlynn, who also directs the series. Irish Blood is produced by Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures, in association with AMC Studios and with the support of incentives for the Irish Film Industry provided by the government of Ireland, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and Ontario Creates. AMC Studios holds worldwide distribution rights.

6 episodes

I don't know how many of you have Acorn TV or if any of you even heard of it They specialize in UK programming.

It looks like Silverstone is playing an American born Irish woman.

So probably highly unlikely this will get any eyes on it here unless there is a free trial in August.

This appears to be a streaming exclusive and not some UK import.

Acorn is one of those channels that I take for a month, binge everything I'm interested in, then drop it.

I had to read it twice to see if they really had cast Jason O'Mara as the father of someone his own age (according to IMDB they are only four years apart). I'm assuming he's a bit craggy and she's had work done.

Silverstone miscast?

I like her but not the greatest actress but at least she won't play a mom again I guess.

I know probably no one here has Acorn TV and there is just way too many series that come out each month. But, if you do, this show was renewed

In case you might be interested and have no interest in Acorn TV, you can buy the 6 episode 1st season on VOD for $9.99

FYI, Roku has a $2.99/month BF deal for 2 months of Acorn TV

Yes, I know most of you guys probably don't have time.

But, in case you want to watch this show for cheap. It's 6 episodes and you can probably binge it in a few days for the $2.99 and then cancel.

I signed up and will try to binge this in the next week.

Just finished the season. It was okay. A decent little mystery. There was a mystery surrounding the death of Silverstone’s Dad played by O’Mara that was resolved by episode 6. But it does end on a cliffhanger for a second season.

For the record, Silverstone is playing an American visiting Ireland as her character’s father’s mysterious dearly is there. So she isn’t faking an Irish accent.
