'Say Nothing's Final Trailer Introduces The Price Sisters
FX and Hulu haven't done much to promote the all-episodes-at-once debut of Say Nothing, FX's last major debut for 2024. Based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe, the series is a deep dive into the "Irish Troubles," as the British used to refer to them, a centuries-long conflict between those in Northern Ireland who were happy to be in the U.K. and those who wished for their section of the country to reunite with the rest of the Republic of Ireland. The final trailer, released less than a day before all episodes debut, introduces viewers to the Price Sisters, central to the series. But were the Price Sisters actually real? Did two teenage girls really lead the 1970s terrorist attack that blew up the Old Bailey?
One reason Say Nothing is so highly anticipated, despite the lack of American marketing, is that Keefe's book was a massive best seller on both sides of the pond. It's a gripping tale of a mother who was disappeared by the Irish Republican Army, two girls who were radicalized by violence, and a pair of leaders who fought for freedom only for one of them (whom many still think betrayed the IRA) to turn to peace and became instrumental in forging the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
But the real reason that Keefe's book and the series are so gripping is that they're all true. Marian and Dolours Price really existed, and by their own accounts, they were radicalized after a peaceful demonstration turned violent.
