Sky has released a teaser trailer for Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie.

The five-part documentary was produced in Ireland, and examines the unsolved case of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, who was brutally murdered at her holiday home in West Cork in 1996.

The series is directed by Ireland’s six-time Oscar-nominee Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In The Name of the Father) and features access to those closest to the case, including Sophie’s family and key suspect Ian Bailey.

Sheridan, who narrates the documentary and appears on-screen, will take viewers on a journey as he unravels the unsolved case that has haunted West Cork for almost 25 years.

The series pieces together original evidence, never-before-seen footage and interviews with those closest to the case as Sheridan tries to make sense of what happened that night; all set against the rural landscapes and wilderness of his home country.

Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie, a Sky Original documentary, is coming soon to Sky Crime.
