Everything you need to know about Chris O’Dowd’s new Sky Original series, Small Town, Big Story
Wendy Patterson (Hendricks), a local girl who found success as a TV producer in Los Angeles, returns to Drumbán after over 20 years, having left under something of a cloud.
Back in the chaotic microcosm of Drumbán, this time with a film crew in tow, Wendy is caught between her past and her epic new production.
Séamus Proctor (Considine) is the local doctor, a respected pillar of the community. He has a neat and well-ordered life, or at least he thinks he does.
Soon he will find himself in the eye of a storm as a celluloid circus descends, which threatens to blow open a secret he has been harbouring since the Millennium.
Filmed on location in Ireland, this new Sky Original series is a warm and witty but very dramatic comedy written and directed by Chris O’Dowd - co-writer and star of the Sky sitcom Moone Boy.
