NEW YORK - May 17, 2023 - The latest Sundance Now Original Series Clean Sweep premieres Thursday, June 22 with two episodes on Sundance Now and AMC+; additional episodes of the series' six-episode first season will drop weekly on Thursdays on both platforms. Starring Charlene McKenna (Bloodlands, Peaky Blinders), the suspenseful Irish series is told from the point-of-view of the killer who is also, unusually, a self-sacrificing mother and wife.
Shelly Mohan (McKenna) is super mom. Her secret power? Multitasking. She juggles the complex lives and schedules of three kids, ages 10, 11 and 15. Her days are filled with cooking and cleaning, shopping and chauffeuring and somehow manages to have a home-cooked meal on the table by the time her husband Jason (Barry Ward, Anne Boleyn, Des), a Galway Garda detective, arrives home every night. It's chaotic and hectic and mostly thankless but it is a life Shelly is happy with. But when a dark secret emerges from her past, she makes a fatal choice to prevent the truth from surfacing.
