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

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

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 Llandrindod Wells' Tom Cullen (The Gold, Becoming Elizabeth, Downton Abbey) as local crime kingpin Saint Pete.

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.
