A new thriller series set in Donegal and written by Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee was unveiled today ahead of the new season on Virgin Media TV.
The Deceived is going to be a dark departure from McGee’s comedy writing in the hit Channel4 series Derry Girls. She developed the show along with her husband, Tobias Beer.
The drama centres on a young Cambridge student whose affair with her Irish lecturer, a married man, leads to a shocking death.
In a compelling, sinister narrative of lust, manipulation and betrayal, the student finds herself trapped in a world where she can no longer trust her own mind.

The suspenseful thriller will have some great characters in Donegal, where the death takes place, teased Lisa.
But no release date has been announced just yet for The Deceived. Viewers will have to wait until autumn and stay tuned to Virgin Media TV for more.
