Clean Sweep is an Irish six-part crime thriller television series created by Gary Tieche. Distributed by ZDF Studios, it premiered on RTÉ in Ireland on 14 May 2023 and on SundanceNow in the United States on 22 June 2023. Tieche co-wrote the screenplay with Fran Harris, while it was directed by Ronan Burke and Yves Christian Fournier. Action is largely set in Wicklow with some scenes set in London or Northumbria. Filming began in 2021 in Wicklow, Wicklow Mountains and Dargle River into mid-2022. The main protagonists, Shelly (Charlene McKenna) and Jason (Barry Ward), are a married couple. Shelly is a stay-at-home mother, who raises their children. Into Shelly's life returns Charlie (Adam Fergus) – a former boyfriend from 20 years ago. Jason is a police detective, who pursues a murderer to advance his career. Jason is assisted by Fiona (Jeanne Nicole Ní Áinle) – the pair are also having a clandestine affair.
