Y Golau: Dŵr

S4C’s acclaimed Welsh-language drama Y Golau (The Light in the Hall) returns with its gripping second series titled ‘Y Golau: Dŵr’.

The much-anticipated follow-up intensifies the suspense, diving deeper into the dark heart of the fictional Welsh village of Llanemlyn.

One of Y Golau: Dŵr’s leads is Mark Lewis Jones, who has been in high demand recently with a flurry of both Welsh and English-language projects.

“It really was a win-win experience: the Carmarthenshire backdrop is amazing, and the script and cast were great. You couldn’t wish for more.”

The story picks up against the backdrop of a controversial reservoir expansion plan, which ignites dormant community tensions.

Executive Producer Nora Ostler Spiteri praised the collaboration with Long Story TV and APC and thanked S4C, AMC+, Creative Wales, and Channel 4 for bringing the series to life, noting the joy of returning to filming locations such as Llandovery.

The original Y Golau (2022) was both a ratings hit and widely praised as a gripping Welsh noir.

Y Golau: Dŵr manages to blend family secrets, political conflict, and atmospheric mystery—an excellent showcase of Welsh-language storytelling.

All six episodes of the first series – Y Golau – can be watched now on S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer.
