Los Angeles, CA - November 2, 2023 - Ovation TV, America's premier arts network, announces the next thrilling series to air during its Mystery Alley destination on Saturday nights. The Silence is a BBC miniseries about a deaf 18-year-old struggling to find her place in a hearing world after being fitted with a cochlear implant. That process becomes life-threatening when she witnesses the murder of a policewoman, propelling the reluctant teen into a cacophony of police corruption, betrayal, drugs and murder. The four-part series starring Genevieve Barr, Douglas Henshall, Dervla Kirwan, Richie Campbell, Gina McKee, and Hugh Bonneville will debut on Ovation TV on Saturday, November 11th at 7pm ET.

Part One airs Saturday, November 11th at 7pm ET

When 18-year-old Amelia receives a cochlear implant, the deaf girl must learn to make sense of sounds for the first time. Wanting to adjust to the hearing world and break free of her overprotective parents, she goes to stay with her homicide detective uncle, kindly aunt, and their party-loving children. But when Amelia sees a murder, she becomes the key witness in her uncle Jim's case.

Part Two airs Saturday, November 18th at 7pm ET

Amelia identifies one of the policewoman's killers--but he's a detective on the drugs squad. Jim starts to suspect that there's widespread corruption on the squad, and his position on the Shilliday murder case becomes increasingly compromised as his own team closes in on the very witness he's trying to protect: Amelia.
