Sky has shared a trailer for Small Town, Big Story, the upcoming comedy drama series from creator/director Chris O’Dowd.
Christina Hendricks stars as Wendy, a successful TV producer living in L.A. who returns to her small rural Irish hometown after two decades to choose a filming location for her latest big budget TV show, and threatens to expose a secret she has shared with a respectable local doctor Seamus (Paddy Considine) that they have shared since the millennium. Watch the trailer below…
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.
Joining Hendricks and Considine in the cast are Eileen Walsh, Leia Murphy, David Rawle, Patrick Martins, Evanne Kilgallon, Andrew Bennett, Ruth McCabe, David Wilmot, Michèle Forbes, Sam C Wilson, Peter McGann, Ruth Codd, Jamie Michie, Ian McElhinney, Clarke Peters, and Tim Heidecker
Small Town, Big Story premieres on February 27th.
