Irish language band IMLÉ's song ‘Peacach’ has been selected as the main title song for the new Netflix series Bodkin.

The series features both the original version of the song, pulled from IMLÉ's self-titled 2016 album and featured as the theme song in five episodes, and a new acoustic version which will appear in one episode.

The news follows the announcement of the release of the Dublin band’s next single ‘SLÁINTE’ featuring Dublin hip-hop artist James Shannon and Conamara singer Róisín Seoighe on May 24 and IMLÉ's new EP, set to come out next autumn.

Speaking of their selection as the title song for the series, Cian Mac Cárthaigh musician, producer and founder of IMLÉ said: “I am really proud of the work everyone involved with IMLÉ has put into our music over the years. Having our music featured in a big Netflix series like this will bring it to the attention of more people around the world "

The dark comedy Bodkin, Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground production company’s first scripted drama series, was filmed in West Cork, Wicklow and Dublin. It tells the story of a group of podcasters and their investigation of the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a coastal Irish town.

Bodkin is available on Netflix now. Watch the trailer below:
