Nancy Harris’ award-winning comedy The Dry begins filming its 8 x 30’ final instalment for Element Pictures, ITVX and RTÉ.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Dense, clever, sad, deeply funny: this immaculately plotted Irish comedy drama about rebuilding life in the wake of tragedy and addiction is a supreme achievement.” – The Guardian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Nancy Harris has produced a script that switches with ease from tender to spiky, anchored by a shining performance from Roisin Gallagher.” – The Daily Telegraph
“Sharply observed comedy” – The Times
BAFTA and IFTA nominee Róisín Gallagher reprises her role as recovering alcoholic Shiv Sheridan. Last seen holding the seams of her dysfunctional family together, and leaving her ex-boyfriend to board a plane to Melbourne by himself, Shiv now meets Daryl, a handsome and mysterious Australian singer (Rick Donald), who seemingly develops a fixation with her, turning up out of the blue at a recovery meeting.
Series 3 also sees original cast return including IFTA nominee Siobhán Cullen, Adam Richardson, Ciarán Hinds, Pom Boyd, Moe Dunford and Eoin Duffy.
“It has been a true joy to see audiences embrace the Sheridan family in all their dysfunctional glory and I am so grateful to have gotten to tell this story over three seasons. The third and final season aims to go deeper than ever before, really getting under the skin of Shiv and the family in a way that we hope is both surprising, funny and (painfully) honest.” – Nancy Harris.
With The Dry ordering its last round, expect old wounds, new truths, and a fond farewell to one of television’s driest and most thoughtfully crafted series.
