Jock and Conor are back in Cork for series five of The Young Offenders, which is set to air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player next month.
The show, produced by Vico Films for the BBC in association with RTÉ, will drop on RTÉ Player on Friday, 3 April, and it will also air weekly on RTÉ One from Saturday, 4 April at 10.30pm.
The original cast returns for the new series with Chris Walley as Jock O'Keeffe, Alex Murphy as Conor MacSweeney, Hilary Rose as Mairéad MacSweeney, Shane Casey as Billy Murphy, Demi Isaac-Oviawe as Linda Walsh, Dominic MacHale as Sergeant Healy, and Jennifer Barry as Siobhán Walsh, with Danny Power as Gavin Madigan, P.J. Gallagher as Principal Barry Walsh, and Orla Fitzgerald as Orla Walsh.
Season five sees Conor and Jock back together after a disastrous brush with the law that saw them spend time in jail on two different continents.
After a chance opportunity allows Jock to escape back from Colombia to Cork, the lads slip back into their old ways quickly, wreaking havoc everywhere but still only wanting the best for themselves and their families.
Conor faces losing the love of his life; Jock tries to rebuild his relationship with Star; and crazy plans with locals to try to improve their lives leave them taking big risks, but that's what best friends do.
Speaking about the upcoming series, Justin Healy, Executive Producer for RTÉ, said: "We are delighted to be bringing a brand-new series of The Young Offenders to our audience. This series sees Conor and Jock fully reunited and full of well-meaning schemes and dreams that bring nothing but chaos to all around them. Comedy drama with big heart and brilliantly bad behaviour is the order of the day in the best series yet."
