‘A real moment’: Cymraeg’s the star as Netflix buys Welsh-language drama

Streaming service’s purchase of heist series Dal y Mellt shows Wales ‘can stand on world stage’

There is a pleasingly twisty plot, a ragtag mob of great characters and some wonderful landscapes, but the star of a heist series nabbed by Netflix is arguably Cymraeg – the Welsh language.

In a landmark moment for the creative industry in Wales, the thriller Dal y Mellt (Catch the Lightning) has become the first Welsh language-only show to be bought by the streaming service.
