The Dry, a new comedy-drama series has begun filming in Dublin this week with a cast that includes Róisín Gallagher (The Fall, Nowhere Special), Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones, The Terror), Pom Boyd (Vanity Fair, Frank of Ireland), Siobhán Cullen (Origin, The Limehouse Golem), Moe Dunford (The Dig, Vikings) and newcomer Adam Richardson.
The eight-part series has been commissioned by streamer BritBox UK and is produced by Dublin company Element Pictures, in association with Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland and ITV Studios, in partnership with RTÉ.
Written by Nancy Harris (The Good Karma Hospital, Dates) and directed by Paddy Breathnach (Viva, Rosie), The Dry promises to celebrate "the joyful chaos and dark absurdities of family life in a series that is all about recovery".
Element Pictures says: "When Shiv Sheridan (Gallagher) returns to Dublin after years of partying in London, she is sober and full of good intentions - but being back with her family makes staying on 'the dry' much harder than she expected. As Shiv tries to navigate this new phase of her life, so must her family...and they all have issues they don't want to face."
The Dry will premiere on BritBox UK next year.
