Exclusive: Ireland’s Lighthouse Studios is developing its first original series, Savage Town.
The 2D-animated crime drama is based on a graphic novel co-authored by Marvel comic book artist Declan Shalvey and Philip Barrett, along with colorist Jordie Bellaire. Marcus Fleming, who wrote Dominion Creek for Ireland’s TG4 and Netflix UK and political drama The Running Mate, is Head Writer.
Savage Town is loosely based on real events in Ireland at the turn of the 21st century during a period of economic growth known as the Celtic Tiger, which transformed it from one of Western Europe’s poorer countries into one of its wealthiest. It follows one local gangster who sees an opportunity to make a major play to control the city but finds himself trapped between two rival gangs with the same intention.
