February 18In a delightful convergence of Irish and international talent, County Roscommon’s own Chris O’Dowd is set to grace RTÉ’s THE LATE LATE SHOW alongside an impressive lineup of guests, bringing with him a treasure trove of stories that perfectly capture his journey from small-town Ireland to global stardom. The Boyle native, known for his role in MOONE BOY, will be joined by Hollywood star Christina Hendricks to discuss their latest collaboration, SMALL TOWN, BIG STORY, a series that brings O’Dowd back to his roots in rural Ireland. The timing of this appearance feels particularly poignant, as O’Dowd recently shared an extraordinary tale from his first-ever Late Late Show experience. Back in 1998, as a UCD student plucked from the campus bar to fill the audience, he received an unexpected gift from then-host Gay Byrne – ferry tickets to Cherbourg. What started as a simple “booze cruise” turned into a four-month French adventure for the former Roscommon minor goalkeeper, who found himself seduced by French bread and the excitement of the 1998 World Cup while his friends returned home. This full-circle moment showcases O’Dowd’s enduring connection to his hometown of Boyle, where he and his wife Dawn O’Porter recently returned to open the town’s beloved Arts Festival. The show’s stellar lineup also includes Steve Coogan, O’Dowd’s MOONE BOY co-star, who will discuss bringing DR. STRANGELOVE to Dublin’s Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and reflect on his iconic Alan Partridge character, along with his recent acquisition of an Irish passport. Adding to the evening’s entertainment, comedian Katherine Ryan will share her own Irish heritage story and the romantic tale of marrying her high school sweetheart after a twenty-year intermission. The night will culminate with a performance by 90s icon Gabrielle, known for hits like “Dreams” and “Rise,” ahead of her anticipated 3Arena concert. The gathering of these diverse talents on THE LATE LATE SHOW represents a beautiful blend of local charm and international appeal, proving that even as Irish talent conquers the global stage, the pull of home remains irresistible. For O’Dowd, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most extraordinary journeys begin in the most ordinary places – be it a college bar in Dublin or a small town in Roscommon. [...]
February 17Netflix has set hearts aflutter with the first glimpse of BRIDGERTON‘s fourth season, treating fans to an intimate behind-the-scenes look at what promises to be another enchanting chapter in the beloved series. The newly released sneak peek, which dropped on Valentine’s Day 2025, offers tantalizing glimpses of the show’s next romantic adventure, centered around the free-spirited Benedict Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Thompson. Taking its cues from Julia Quinn’s AN OFFER FROM A GENTLEMAN, the season weaves a spellbinding romance that Thompson describes as a “twist on Cinderella,” following Benedict’s unexpected encounter with a mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball. The fresh footage reveals returning fan favorites, including Nicola Coughlan‘s Penelope Featherington, who appears in two pivotal scenes – one intimate moment with her husband Colin Bridgerton, and another alongside the formidable Queen Charlotte at the masquerade ball. Adding to the excitement, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed at the BRIDGERTON: SEASON OF LOVE 2025 Fan Event that season two’s beloved couple, Kate and Anthony Bridgerton, will return, with Johnny Bailey and Simone Ashley reprising their roles, promising glimpses of their marital bliss and new journey into parenthood. Perhaps most intriguingly, the season introduces newcomer Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek, who steps into the glittering world of the ton as Benedict’s love interest. The production, which began rolling cameras in September 2024, is set to conclude filming in April 2025, though eager fans will need to exercise patience – Netflix isn’t expected to premiere this latest installment until 2026. This continuation of the BRIDGERTON saga promises to maintain the series’ signature blend of romance, drama, and societal intrigue, while exploring new territories through Benedict’s artistic soul and his reluctance to follow his brothers into matrimonial bliss. With its stellar cast and creative team hard at work, including veteran stunt professional Mark Vanselow at the helm, and the addition of acclaimed actors like Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei, Ving Rhames, and Michael Chiklis, the fourth season appears poised to captivate audiences once again with its unique blend of period romance and modern sensibilities.

February 16The 2025 Irish Film and Television Awards transformed Dublin into a constellation of stars on Friday evening, with SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE emerging as the night’s biggest winner. The intimate drama secured both Best Film and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, who delivered a memorable acceptance speech apologizing to his fellow nominees from hip-hop group Kneecap: “Sorry Kneecap. You had me outnumbered.” The evening proved particularly triumphant for Saoirse Ronan, who demonstrated her versatility by claiming two major awards. She won Best Actress for her compelling performance in THE OUTRUN, where she portrayed a young woman grappling with alcoholism – a project she created alongside her husband Jack Lowden. “I got to make this film with the love of my life,” Ronan shared emotionally from the stage. She also secured Best Supporting Actress for her role in the World War II drama BLITZ, during which she graciously acknowledged the team from ATONEMENT, the film that launched her Oscar-nominated career. The ceremony highlighted the growing international appeal of Irish cinema, with Colin Farrell winning Best Lead Actor in a TV Drama for his transformation in THE PENGUIN. The gritty drama SAY NOTHING garnered multiple honors, including Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Lola Petticrew’s powerful portrayal of Dolours Price. The series also earned Anthony Boyle the Rising Star award for his depiction of Brendan Hughes, while Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Hazel Doupe secured supporting actor awards. In a particularly poignant moment, director Rich Peppiatt accepted his Best Director award for KNEECAP with news that carried special weight: he had become an Irish citizen just hours before the ceremony. Holding up an Irish flag badge, he declared, “I became an Irish citizen earlier today, only about two hours ago, just in time.” The film itself, predominantly in Irish, represents a bold celebration of language and culture, with its creators insisting on authenticity in their storytelling. BAD SISTERS continued its successful run with Sharon Horgan taking home the award for Script Writing. Horgan tantalized fans with hints about a potential third season, expressing interest in casting Sebastian Stan or Andrew Scott as the show’s next antagonist. The series’ acclaim underscores the growing global appetite for Irish storytelling. Industry veteran Colm Meaney received the Lifetime Achievement Award, approaching the honor with characteristic humor: “It means a thing about yay size, very heavy. It’s a wonderful award, it’s very special, and to get it from my home town and from my peers too.” The evening served as a powerful reminder of Ireland’s flourishing film industry, with Andrew Scott capturing the sentiment perfectly: “We have incredible crews here, and the standard of our work is going from strength to strength. I just hope that we continue making films that are authentically Irish and what it means to be Irish. There is a real international audience for not just the actors who are doing well at the moment, but all types of filmmakers. It’s a really incredibly exciting time.” Indeed, as the credits rolled on another spectacular IFTA ceremony, it was clear that Irish cinema isn’t just finding its voice – it’s commanding the global stage with stories that resonate far beyond its shores.

February 9THE TOMMY TIERNAN SHOW continues to captivate audiences with its unique format and intimate conversations, offering viewers a refreshing departure from traditional chat show interviews. The show’s distinctive approach – where the host meets his guests without any prior knowledge of their identity – has led to some remarkably authentic moments in recent episodes. In a particularly engaging segment, fellow comedian Jimmy Carr brought his characteristic wit to the show, sharing candid insights into his life as a new parent. After his stand-up shows in England, Carr revealed, he often drives home, and in one touching moment, he described returning late only to spend an hour discussing Transformers with his young child through the baby monitor, still buzzing from his performance energy. The show recently welcomed Hollywood actor Paul Giamatti, in what viewers described as a “gentle” conversation that went far deeper than typical promotional interviews. Social media lit up with observations about the uncanny similarities between host and guest, with one viewer noting, “I thought we were finally getting an interview between quiet Tommy Tiernan and loud Tommy Tiernan!” The interview stood in stark contrast to traditional chat show formats, with one viewer pointing out that while Giamatti might discuss his latest film on THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW, here he opened up about his personal life in a more meaningful way. The show’s ability to elicit powerful emotional responses was particularly evident in an episode featuring writer and actor Seamus O’Rourke. His moving reading from his book “Leaning on Gates,” exploring the complex relationship between fathers and sons, left viewers “bawling their eyes out.” O’Rourke’s honest reflection on never having hugged his late father resonated deeply with the audience, with many sharing their own experiences of similar parent-child dynamics. The show’s diverse guest list has also included mixed media artist Aaron Sunderland Carey, whose socially engaged projects earned him praise as an “inspiring” and “incredible” young man, and Irish musician Doireann Ní Ghlacáin, known for her fiddle playing and TG4 presenting work. These episodes, alongside appearances by Emma Doran and Fern Brady, showcase the show’s commitment to featuring voices from various walks of life, from A-list celebrities to local artists and academics. Through its unconventional format and Tiernan’s skillful interviewing style, the show continues to deliver what viewers have come to describe as “pure, raw and naturally funny” conversations that go beyond surface-level celebrity chat to explore the deeper aspects of human experience.

February 8In a moving display of gratitude and humility, Irish actor Colin Farrell captured hearts at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, taking home the prestigious Best Actor award for his remarkable performance in THE PENGUIN, the gripping spin-off series from THE BATMAN universe. The Friday night ceremony at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica became a platform for more than just artistic recognition, as Farrell used his moment in the spotlight to shine a light on true heroism. “Well, thank you, critics – and I haven’t always felt that!” Farrell quipped with his characteristic charm, before the tone of his acceptance speech shifted to something more profound. In a year marked by devastating fires in Los Angeles, the Dublin native seized the opportunity to pay tribute to the city’s first responders and fire department, some of whom were present as honored guests at the ceremony. With genuine emotion, Farrell reflected on the often-overlooked sacrifices of emergency services: “It’s so easy to forget what first responders and the fire department do every day, every week, every month, every year, until these fires come and lives are in jeopardy.” His words carried particular weight as he acknowledged the lives and property lost, while praising the tireless, selfless efforts of these everyday heroes who, in his words, demonstrate true civic duty in an increasingly divided world. The victory adds to Farrell’s growing collection of accolades, including a Golden Globe for the same role. His win came alongside that of his THE PENGUIN co-star Cristin Milioti, who secured Best Actress in a Limited Series for her portrayal of Sofia Falcone. The actor made sure to acknowledge the creative forces behind the series, praising the directors who “took the tone of this show and brought it forward and did it in a seamless way.” The night also highlighted Irish talent beyond Farrell, with fellow countrymen Andrew Scott (RIPLEY), Caitríona Balfe (OUTLANDER), and young Alisha Weir (ABIGAIL) among the nominees. In a lighthearted moment concluding his speech, Farrell playfully searched the room for fellow winner Kathy Bates, promising to “be over there in a minute!” The ceremony, hosted by Chelsea Handler, represented the collective voice of over 525 media critics and entertainment journalists from the Critics’ Choice Association, celebrating excellence across film and television. Yet it was Farrell’s heartfelt tribute to real-life heroes that transformed a typical awards show moment into a powerful reminder of the true meaning of service and community.

February 3In a delightful twist of art imitating life, SALTBURN star Barry Keoghan has teamed up with Squarespace for their latest Super Bowl campaign, bringing a touch of Irish charm and Hollywood aspiration to the world of website building. The heartwarming short film follows Keoghan as he mentors an ambitious donkey named Don Mosley, who dreams of making it big in Tinseltown – a narrative that playfully echoes Keoghan’s own experience with his four-legged co-star in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN. Set in the picturesque Irish countryside, the campaign captures the intimate moment of two artists – one established, one aspiring – navigating the modern demands of showbusiness. As they huddle over a laptop, Keoghan guides Mosley through the process of creating his professional website, complete with the perfectly personalized domain name “donmosley.com.” The Dublin native’s authentic charm shines through as he playfully struggles with pronouncing “theatre” while helping his companion craft an impressive acting résumé. The short film masterfully balances humor with subtle commentary on the entertainment industry’s challenges, particularly for Irish talents seeking to break into the American market. While poking fun at Don’s limited acting range, the advertisement cleverly draws parallels to Keoghan’s own journey from Dublin to Hollywood stardom. Created in-house by Squarespace, the campaign showcases how even the most unlikely of performers – be they Irish actors or ambitious donkeys – can establish their digital presence and pursue their dreams. As this teaser builds anticipation for Squarespace’s Super Bowl LIX commercial, it’s clear that Don Mosley has already secured his first big break. With a professional website now featuring his talents, booking information, and headshots, this determined donkey seems poised to follow in the hoofsteps of Jenny from THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN – though perhaps with a more strategic approach to career management. Through this charming collaboration, Squarespace not only highlights their user-friendly platform but also captures the universal story of dreamers taking their first steps toward stardom, one website at a time.

December 10In a testament to his remarkable acting prowess, Andrew Scott has secured a Golden Globes nomination for his captivating performance in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, solidifying his reputation as one of the most versatile actors of his generation. Scott’s portrayal of Tom Ripley in the critically acclaimed series has earned him a well-deserved nomination in the Best Actor in a Limited Series or Television Film category. Based on Patricia Highsmith’s classic novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” the series offers a darker, more nuanced interpretation of the iconic character that Scott brings to life with extraordinary depth and complexity. Unlike previous adaptations, Scott’s Ripley is a study in psychological manipulation and quiet intensity. His performance strips away the charismatic veneer often associated with the character, instead revealing a more calculating and internally tormented individual. The nomination recognizes Scott’s ability to navigate the intricate psychological landscape of Tom Ripley, presenting a version of the character that is both chilling and uncomfortably human. The Golden Globes nomination is just one of many accolades for Scott’s performance. Critics have praised his ability to make Ripley simultaneously repulsive and magnetic, a challenging feat that requires immense acting skill. His nuanced portrayal transforms the character from a simple con artist into a complex psychological study of desire, class, and identity. For Andrew Scott, known for his memorable roles in ALL OF US STRANGERS, FLEABAG and BLACK MIRROR, this nomination represents a significant milestone. It underscores his range as an actor and his capacity to take on challenging, morally ambiguous characters with remarkable insight and subtlety. RIPLEY, directed by Steven Zaillian, has been lauded for its atmospheric black-and-white cinematography and Scott’s mesmerizing central performance. The series reimagines Highsmith’s narrative with a fresh, contemporary psychological depth that has resonated with both critics and audiences.   THE OUTRUN on Netflix Mar 18irishfilmtvFebruary 21, 2025A quiet revolution is happening on Netflix this March as Nora Fingscheidt’s stunning adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s 2016 novel THE OUTRUN makes its streaming debut.

December 6Amid rumors of a potential HARRY POTTER TV adaptation, Cillian Murphy finds himself at the center of speculation about playing Voldemort – while simultaneously juggling an impressive lineup of high-profile projects. Ralph Fiennes, the original Voldemort in the HARRY POTTER film series, has enthusiastically endorsed Murphy for the role. “Cillian is a fantastic actor,” Fiennes told Watch What Happens Live, calling the potential casting “a wonderful suggestion.” Murphy’s packed schedule includes an upcoming zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER, Danny Boyle’s return to his iconic zombie franchise. The film, scheduled for release on June 20, 2025, will also feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer, reuniting Murphy with Fiennes. He’s also preparing for the PEAKY BLINDERS film, continuing his journey as Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed crime series that made him a household name. While negotiations are still early for the potential HARRY POTTER villain role, Murphy’s experience playing antagonists – including Scarecrow in the BATMAN films and a terrorist in RED EYE – makes him an intriguing potential choice for Voldemort. The proposed HBO series is expected to be a fresh adaptation of the beloved books, with no plans to include the original film’s cast members like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or Rupert Grint. With his versatility and proven track record of compelling performances, Murphy continues to be one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, seamlessly moving between intense dramatic roles and potential franchise entries.

December 2Two groundbreaking television series set in Northern Ireland have captured critical acclaim, making the New York Times Best TV Shows of 2024 list and offering powerful narratives that explore the region’s complex historical and contemporary landscape. Disney’s SAY NOTHING, adapted from Patrick Radden Keefe’s bestselling book, delivers a gripping narrative deeply rooted in the historical context of the Troubles. The show provides an unflinching look at a dark period of Northern Irish history, examining the human cost of prolonged conflict. TV Critic James Poniewozik praised the series as a “tough but enthralling work that traces old scars, revives bitter memories and measures a generational account of multiplying injustice.” The show stands out for its nuanced approach to storytelling, bringing the intricate layers of Northern Ireland’s painful past into sharp focus. Equally compelling is BLUE LIGHTS, a Belfast-based drama that offers a modern perspective on the ongoing reverberations of the Troubles. Created by Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn, the series follows PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) officers navigating the complex social and political landscape of contemporary Belfast. New York Times TV Critic Mike Hale highlighted the show’s profound exploration of historical trauma, noting that “The Troubles are alive in this Northern Irish crime drama, a legacy of damage, suspicion and hatred that threatens cops every time they step out of their cars.” The series distinguishes itself through its authentic portrayal of police work, blending familiar procedural elements with deep emotional nuance. Sian Brooke’s performance as a middle-aged rookie officer with social worker instincts has been particularly praised, bringing depth and humanity to the ensemble cast. Both SAY NOTHING and BLUE LIGHTS demonstrate the continued artistic vitality of Northern Irish storytelling, offering viewers sophisticated, layered narratives that go beyond simplistic representations of conflict and instead explore the human experiences that persist in its wake.

November 29Michael Fassbender stars in Paramount+’s new spy drama THE AGENCY, playing Martian, a CIA operative returning from an extended assignment in Ethiopia. The series explores the psychological complexities of a long-time intelligence operative struggling to reintegrate into his previous life. Fassbender’s character is defined by profound emotional compartmentalization. Having been estranged from his daughter for six years and separated from a romantic relationship in Ethiopia, Martian represents a spy whose professional life has profoundly altered his personal identity. The actor delves into his character’s moral ambiguity, questioning how two decades in intelligence work have transformed Martian’s ethical boundaries. “What has the journey and the road done to him, and how has his moral compass been shifted?” Fassbender reflects, highlighting the character’s nuanced psychological landscape. Central to Fassbender’s portrayal is the blurred line between truth and deception. “Lies and truth have become so merged that it’s blurry,” he explains. “You can’t tell the difference… because everything is a lie and the truth.” THE AGENCY premieres Friday Nov 29 on Paramount+ with two episodes, followed by a linear network debut on Sunday at 9/8c.

November 28Barry Keoghan is set to take on one of his most high-profile roles yet, cast as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-part BEATLES biopic series. The project marks a significant milestone in Keoghan’s rapidly expanding career, which has seen him transition from indie darling to mainstream Hollywood sensation. Keoghan has been making waves in the music world beyond acting. He recently appeared in Sabrina Carpenter’s PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE music video and was featured in Fontaines D.C.’s music video for BUG, which used footage from Andrea Arnold’s film BIRD. Reflecting on these appearances, Keoghan told IndieWire, “I seem to be in music videos everywhere.” In what could be his most transformative role to date, Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ innovative film series. The project has already garnered significant attention, with Starr himself endorsing the casting. “I think it’s great,” Starr told Entertainment Tonight, adding a playful note about Keoghan potentially taking drum lessons. The ambitious film project will consist of four separate movies, each focusing on a different Beatles member. Mendes will direct all four films, which are set to “intersect” and tell the band’s story from multiple perspectives. The first installment is scheduled for a 2027 theatrical release. The casting comes with full life-story and music rights granted by Starr, Paul McCartney, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, highlighting the project’s significance. This role continues Keoghan’s impressive trajectory, following standout performances in critically acclaimed films like BANSHEES OF INISHERIN and SALTBURN. The BEATLES biopic represents another bold step for an actor known for taking on challenging and transformative roles. While details about the film are still emerging, with other potential castings like Paul Mescal still rumored, Keoghan’s involvement has already generated significant excitement. As Mendes stated, the project aims to “challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.” More Barry Keoghan Barry Keoghan PEAKY BLINDERS update CALM WITH HORSES on Netflix Barry Keoghan in BIRD MASTERS OF THE AIR on Apple TV+ Previous Next https://youtu.be/9N1QHUePOZg?si=XRi1X-W_hH3epciw THE OUTRUN on Netflix Mar 18irishfilmtvFebruary 21, 2025A quiet revolution is happening on Netflix this March as Nora Fingscheidt’s stunning adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s 2016 novel THE OUTRUN makes its streaming debut.

November 25Sharon Horgan, who created and stars in the BAFTA-winning black comedy BAD SISTERS, recently discussed her career evolution on THE LATE LATE SHOW with Patrick Kielty. The show’s second season is currently airing, with Horgan admitting to some nervousness about the Irish audience’s reaction despite the first season’s success. As both creator and star, Horgan faces unique challenges with BAD SISTERS’ second season. While writing entirely original material proved demanding compared to the first season’s adaptation from the Flemish series CLAN, she found herself deeply connected to the characters she had developed. The new season takes a darker turn, particularly in its second episode, as Horgan aimed to explore the realistic aftermath of abusive relationships. This focus on complex, challenging narratives has become a hallmark of Horgan’s work. The Co Meath-raised creative force has built an impressive portfolio over the past decade, including acclaimed series like PULLING, CATASTROPHE, DIVORCE, and MOTHERLAND. Her on-screen presence has also grown, with notable appearances in films such as GAME NIGHT and DATING AMBER. Despite her late start in the industry at age 36 with PULLING, which she co-wrote with Dennis Kelly, Horgan has established herself as a powerhouse in television creation and performance. Initially attributing her success to “lucky breaks” – including her collaboration with Rob Delaney on CATASTROPHE – she now acknowledges her achievements while maintaining her characteristic humility, shaped by her upbringing on a turkey farm. Her current success, she notes, comes from years of “constantly hustling” in the industry.

November 13FX’s limited series SAY NOTHING is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The 9-episode series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe. Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again. Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, SAY NOTHING explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.
