Obituary is a 6 episode Dark Comedy TV Series streaming on November 21, 2023 on Hulu. Obituary has already aired in Ireland on RTÉ One in September 2023.

Filmed and set in the rural west of Ireland, Obituary follows 24-year-old Elvira Clancy, a journalist who is feeling a little unfulfilled, although she adores her new job writing obituaries for a local newspaper in the small-town of Kilraven by the seaside. But when the newspaper falls on hard times, her boss invokes some cost saving measures, taking Elvira off salary and making her Freelance, paying her per obituary written. When Elvira “accidentally” kills a nasty piece of work in the town, she discovers she might have a previously untapped bloodlust and a new revenue stream. A rash of accidents begins to happen to the most unpleasant of the town's residents. Thing couldn't be going better until the newspaper hires a new crime correspondent with a penchant for conspiracy theories and Elvira finds that she really, really likes him...
