‘Under Salt Marsh’ Creator on Jackie’s Pregnancy, Possible Season 2 and Picking the Murderer: ‘I Want People to Say, “Of Course, Holy Sh-t, It’s [Spoiler]”‘

Spoiler Alert: This article contains major spoilers for “Under Salt Marsh,” which had its season finale on Friday.

“Under Salt Marsh” is one of Sky Atlantic’s biggest non-hbo drama pushes in recent years. The original six-part series (Sky has yet to confirm where it’ll land in the U.S.) stars “Yellowstone’s” Kelly Reilly as Jackie, a detective turned teacher with an unfinished case that comes back from the dead when, late one night after a secret tryst, she stumbles across the lifeless body of one of her pupils in a ditch. Soon, it’s confirmed that he’s been murdered, making him the second child to die in the small Welsh community of Morfa Halen in three years. With a storm threatening to destroy vital evidence – as well as the coastal village itself — Jackie teams up with her old police partner, Detective Eric Bull (Rafe Spall), to try and find the killer.
