The producers of Cork comedy hit The Young Offenders have issued a casting call for people to appear in the fourth series of the show.
RTÉ and the BBC have announced that loveable rogues Conor (Alex Murphy) and Jock (Chris Walley) will return for a fourth series of adventures, following the hugely successful first three runs, the 2018 Christmas special and the box office smash feature film from 2016.
Further details of the casting call can be seen here.
Series two and three of The Young Offenders were filmed back-to-back in 2019 and became a massive draw for audiences not only in Ireland and the UK, but across the world. The show also garnered critical acclaim for its sensitive yet hilarious storytelling and performances.
"We're over the moon to have been commissioned for Series 4 of the show on BBC One, and of course always grateful for the ongoing support of RTÉ," says The Young Offenders creator Peter Foott.
"Audiences have been asking for more of the journeys of these characters and we’re very excited to take the show in new directions for Series 4 and can’t wait to bring it back to TV screens."
Head of RTÉ Comedy, Justin Healy, said, "The Young Offenders is a firm favourite with RTÉ audiences, and we are delighted to be bringing it back to screen. It's exciting to be working with the BBC once again to bring Irish talent to an international audience."
Ben Caudell, Commissioning Editor for BBC Comedy added, "We’re so happy to have The Young Offenders back on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, so that viewers once again enjoy the adventures, and misadventures, of all these brilliant comic characters - they may not be quite so young, but they’re still very much offenders."
