Petticrew is also gearing up to star opposite Sex Education's Gillian Anderson in another series focused on The Troubles.
Titled Trespasses and based on the book by Louise Kennedy, the 1975-set series follows Cushla (Petticrew), a Catholic school teacher working in a town just outside Belfast who falls for a Protestant married man who sympathises with IRA called Michael (Weekend's Tom Cullen). Anderson stars as Cushla's mother Gina.
"In a place where loose lips cost lives and danger lurks in the shadows, amidst the fear and paranoia, this illicit affair between Cushla and Michael ignites and burns bright," the synopsis reads.
Say Nothing will start streaming on Disney+ in the UK on November 14. Trespasses will air on Channel 4.
