ACORN TV'S GRITTY IRISH-BELGIAN CONSPIRACY THRILLER, "HIDDEN ASSETS," RETURNS WITH ALL-NEW EPISODES

SEASON 2 DEBUTS WITH A TWO-EPISODE PREMIERE ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13

All-New Action-Packed Trailer Now Available

NEW YORK - October 17, 2023 - Creator, writer and executive producer Peter McKenna's (Kin, The Last Kingdom) prominent, thrilling series Hidden Assets returns exclusively to Acorn TV with a two-episode premiere on Monday, November 13. Additional episodes of the six-episode Acorn TV Original Series will drop weekly on Mondays.

In the new season of Hidden Assets, Bibi Brannigan (Simone Kirby, His Dark Materials, Silent Witness), the ship chandler who used to operate out of the Antwerp, Belgium port, has retreated to Ireland to deal with the fallout from the Belgian bombings occurring a year earlier. Although estranged from her husband James Melnick (Charlie Carrick, The Borgias, Deep Water), the sudden death of her father-in-law Richard Melnick (Michael Ironside, Barry, The Dropout) brings Bibi back to Antwerp. Hoping to see her son Arthur (Davin McElherron) at the memorial service, Bibi is warned off by Richard's successor Frances Swann (Karine Vanasse, Cardinal, Plan B): any deal she had with Richard died with him.

When there's an attempt on her life, Bibi is forced to approach Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) with a deal: protection in exchange for the true conspirators behind the Belgian bombings. But there have been changes in CAB and new team lead DS Claire Wallace (Nora-Jane Noone, The Ipcress File, Brooklyn) is less inclined than her predecessor to believe Bibi. When the threat can no longer be ignored, Claire, along with Belgian Chief Inspector Christian De Jong (Wouter Hendrickx, Blackout, Undercover), embark on a lethal, high-stakes investigation with international political implications where nothing is at it seems and they are never sure who they can trust.

Hidden Assets, an Acorn TV Original Series, is created written and executive produced by Peter McKenna, with Mary Fox (Vanilla), Marty Thornton (Vanilla), Sinéad Collopy (Smother, Every Five Miles), Susan E. Connolly (Redemption) also writing episodes. It's directed by Emmy(R) Award-nominee Thaddeus O'Sullivan (Call The Midwife, Silent Witness) and Kadir Ferati Balci (Cold Courage, Dag & nacht). Siobhan Bourke, James Mitchell, Donna Walsh, Stephen Greenburg, Peter De Maegd and Tom Hameeuw serve as executive producers. Kathryn Lennon and Anna-Sue Greenburg serve as series producers, while Catherine O'Flaherty serves as producer. Co-funded by the European Union, the series is a Saffron Moon, Facet4Media & Potemkino Production for RTÉ, Super Channel and Acorn TV.
