is a malign home invasion. Threatened, betrayed, and
outnumbered, Maud now must fight for her birth right…
Sometimes you must go to the dark side. Because that’s
where your predator is.
A subversive twist on the gothic sensation Uncle Silas, a

dying man leave the world on his own terms. Although
betrayed, Leon refuses to allow his hero to die like this,
until he agrees to a last day in Dublin to say farewell

Aoife Ní Bhraoin returns home to help her father
Brendan ‘The Bear’ Ó Briain recover from a heart
attack. Day to day they get along just fine, but there
is so much that has been left unsaid about the loss of
her mother.
Over this summer she gets pulled back into the
competitive world of rowing. She lets herself become
close to the three women in her crew, but as the big race
approaches Aoife feels an unbearable strain, years of
suppressed grief and sadness, that could seriously wreck
their chances of success.

Lakelands
‘Lakelands’ takes place in a small town in the
midlands – the sort of place where Gaelic football is a
religion, where identity is defined by what one can do
on the pitch. Cian Reilly is a young Gaelic footballer
who struggles to come to terms with a career-ending
injury after a violent attack on a night out. At the
same time, he begins a friendship with Grace, a nurse
who is back in town to look after her ailing father
following some time away in London. Cian tries to find
meaning in other areas of life, but the pull from the
team and pressure from the town is strong.
He soon finds himself risking it all by returning to
football against doctor’s orders and considering seeking
retribution against his assailants.

Sparrow
When wild teen Kevin Coyle accidentally causes
the death of his older brother he does something
seemingly unforgivable: he keeps the tragedy a
secret.
Kevin must watch in horror as the consequences of his lie
unfold before his eyes, with the sparrow he keeps locked
in his room being the only living soul he can confess to.
As events inevitably escalate out of his control, Kevin
is forced to confront the truth in the most dramatic of
fashions. Finally, Kevin must look to his father to provide
the thing he needs most: the possibility of forgiveness.

In 1941, sisters Thom and Mars have built a machine,
LOLA, that can intercept radio and TV broadcasts
from the future.
With the Second World War escalating, the sisters decide
to use the machine to intercept information from the
future that could help with military intelligence. The
machine initially proves to be a huge success, rapidly
twisting the fortunes of the war against the Nazis.
While Thom becomes intoxicated by LOLA, Mars begins
to realise the terrible consequences of its power. As their
relationship falls apart, a fatal error with the machine
creates a nightmarish future. Can the sisters’ love for

Unlike his teenage peers who progressively ‘renounce’ their animal selves, he gets further and further away from being ‘cured’. Given the chance to howl, to behave like a wolf, he feels liberated. The only respite to his ever-growing restlessness is Wildcat, a 22 year-old, enigmatic patient with whom he roams the clinic in the dead of night. The two form an improbable friendship that develops to infatuation. Can he renounce his true self, for love? Can he live life repressing who he is?

Mid 2022Production Slate for Film & Television 2022 69 TV DRAMA Holding Based on Graham Norton’s acclaimed novel, this darkly comic story of love, secrets and loss explores – with searing honesty and sharp wit – the complexities and contradictions that make us human. The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little change or drama. Time doesn’t pass here; it seeps away. Yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn’t always hidden away, filling his days with comfort food and half-hearted police work. Mother-of-two Brid Riordan hasn’t always been an alcoholic. The elegant Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a total waste. So, when human remains are found, Duneen’s dark past is waiting to unravel. Struggling to solve a serious crime for the first time in his life and connect with the village he has tried so hard to avoid, PJ is about to unearth a community’s worth of anger, resentment and regret.
