Sky head to a small town with a big story

Every small town has a story to tell. Some don’t know how to keep a secret …

Christina Hendricks and Paddy Considine will star in Small Town, Big Story, a warm and witty, very dramatic comedy created and directed by Chris O’Dowd (Moone Boy). The new Sky Original series from Playground and FilmNation Entertainment has started filming on location in Ireland and is expected to debut on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK & Ireland during 2024.

The six-part series is about the fictional town of Drumbán, a rural village of rattled misfits on the border of Ireland and another world, and what happens when a Hollywood production rolls into town and throws the spotlight on a secret that’s been kept hidden since the eve of the Millennium.

Christina Hendricks stars as Wendy Patterson, a local girl who has had a lot of success as a hot-shot television producer, who returns to her hometown from LA with a Hollywood production in tow.

Paddy Considine stars as Drumbán’s local doctor and pillar of the community Seamus Proctor.  Eileen Walsh stars as Catherine Proctor, Seamus’ wife and local schoolteacher. Leia Murphy and David Rawle star as siblings Joanne and Sonny Proctor. Patrick Martins stars as Jules O’Brien, Evanne Kilgallon stars as Shelly McGoldrick, Andrew Bennett stars as Barry Battles, Ruth McCabe stars as Betty Battles, and David Wilmot stars as Keith McCurdle, with further casting to be announced.
