RTÉ has announced a new five-part drama based on the murder of popular Tipperary DJ Mr Bobby “Mr Moonlight” Ryan and the subsequent trial of Mr Patrick Quirke.
The Murder of “Mr Moonlight” will explore Mr Ryan’s disappearance in June of 2011 and the events that led to one of the longest-running murder trials in Irish history.
“Downton Abbey” actor Mr Brendan Coyle will portray Mr Bobby Ryan, with Ms Sinéad Keenan playing Ms Mary Lowry and Mr Owen McDonnell taking on the role of Mr Patrick Quirke.
Based on Ms Catherine Fegan’s book of the same name, the series aims to look beyond the headlines and place Mr Bobby Ryan and the impact of his death at the heart of the story.
The drama is due to air on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player in 2027, with an exact release date yet to be confirmed.
