A new Sky original series, titled Small Town, Big Story, is now in production on location in Ireland. The six-part show, penned and helmed by Chris O’Dowd, sees an Irish village taken over by a Hollywood production, shedding light on “a secret that’s been kept hidden since the eve of the millennium.” The project is described as “a warm and witty, very dramatic comedy,” set in the fictional town of Drumbán, “a rural village of rattled misfits on the border of Ireland and another world.”
The cast is toplined by Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon). Hendricks will portray Wendy Patterson, a TV producer who returns to her hometown from Los Angeles, bringing a Hollywood production with her, whilst Considine will star as Drumbán’s local doctor, Seamus Proctor.
Other confirmed cast members include Eileen Walsh (Catastrophe [+leggi anche:
