The Criminal Assets Bureau is back, and this time the stakes are higher than ever in a new season of Hidden Assets, full of suspense, intrigue and narrative twists.

Nora-Jane Noone (The Ipcress File, Wildfire, Bring Them Down) returns as DS Claire Wallace alongside Cathy Belton (Miss Scarlet & The Duke, The Hardacres, The Catch) as Norah Dillon and Aaron Monaghan (The Banshees of Inisherin, The Gone, The Vanishing Triangle) as DS Sean Prendergast.

A first-look promo will hit screens tonight offering a glimpse of what’s in store as the gripping third series of Hidden Assets begins Sunday, 9th November at 9:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

The new series kicks off with the brutal murder of investigative journalist Olatz Alzola and her family in Bilbao. When the killings are linked to a past CAB raid in Ireland that ended in tragedy, DS Wallace is drawn into a dangerous web of crime and corruption.

Tracking €27 million embezzled by portfolio manager Nick Heaslip, Claire follows the money trail to the Basque Country, where she partners with Detective Jon Beitia. As another body surfaces, the duo uncovers a network involving migrant smuggling, a questionable charity, and an Irish ex-convict. Together, they must piece together the puzzle before more lives are lost.

This season introduces Iñigo Gastesi (La infiltrada, La quietud en la tormenta, Contratiempo) as Inspector Jon Beitia, Charlotte Timmers (Safe Harbour, Cold Courage) as Lore Velasco, Dónall Ó Héalai (Crá, Arracht) as Detective Liam Boylan, Catherine Walker (Versailles, My Sailor, My Love) as Niamh Bennett and Steve Wall (Black Doves, The English, Dune: Part 2) as Inspector Martin Dunlop.

Produced as part of RTÉ’s dynamic 2025 drama slate, Hidden Assets is one of nine original drama series filmed this year, delivering an unprecedented 142 hours of high-quality Irish storytelling. This ambitious lineup reaffirms RTÉ’s commitment to supporting homegrown talent and investment in Irish talent, culture, and the broader creative economy. 

Head of RTÉ Drama, David Crean said: “Hidden Assets is a series that always showcases the very best of Irish producing, acting, writing and directing talent. This year we are delighted to welcome two new creatives to the team – the brilliantly talented writer Cara Loftus and the outstanding RTÉ Storyland director Mia Mullarkey. The show is loved by audiences both in Ireland and internationally and I’m sure series three will prove to be another popular success.”
 
Siobhan Bourke, Producer at Saffron Moon said: “With our partners in RTÉ, Acorn TV, Screen Ireland, DCD Rights, Streamz, EITB and Potemkino we are delighted to bring season three to Irish audiences. It’s been a pleasure to work with fantastic writers led by Peter McKenna and a wonderful cast and crew in Dublin, Bilbao and Antwerp, helmed with flair and style by lead director Kadir Ferati Balci and bright new talent Mia Mullarkey.
