Hendricks will play Wendy Patterson, a local girl "done good as a hot-shot television producer, who returns to her hometown from LA with a Hollywood production in tow," Sky revealed. Meanwhile, Considine's character Seamus Proctor is a local doctor and pillar of the community.
They are joined by Catastrophe's Eileen Walsh, who plays Seamus's wife Catherine, and Leia Murphy (Fiar City) and David Rawle, who also collaborated with O'Dowd on Moone Boy, as their children.
