A new six-part S4C crime drama Ar y Ffin (meaning On the Edge) has finished filming in Newport - and here is a first look at some of the scenes from the show.

It will air in Welsh, with subtitles, on S4C from 29 December.

Ar y Ffin centres around life at Newport's Magistrates Court where experienced Magistrate Claire Lewis Jones uncovers a web of criminal activity that could put her and her family at risk.

Erin Richards (Gotham, The Crown) stars as Claire Lewis Jones, alongside Tom Cullen (The Gold, Becoming Elizabeth) as local crime kingpin Saint Pete.

The series is a co-commission with Welsh language free-to-air channel S4C and All3Media International, and will air as Mudtown on UKTV’s leading crime drama channel, Alibi in spring next year. All3Media International will handle distribution of the series outside the UK.

Gwenllian Gravell, S4C’s drama commissioner, said: “It’s been a pleasure  working in partnership with UKTV, All3 Media and Severn Screen on our pacey new thriller Ar y Ffin / Mudtown.

With a stellar cast and gripping script, the audience is in for a treat.”

Ar y Ffin will air first on S4C, S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer later this year, with Mudtown airing on Alibi in spring 2025.
