Paddy Considine and Christina Hendricks in teaser pics for Small Town, Big Story
The images were released to celebrate the end of filming in Ireland.
Sky has unveiled three first-look tease shots from Chris O'Dowd's upcoming comedy-drama Small Town, Big Story, which stars Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) in leading roles.
The story takes place in the fictional Irish town of Drumbán, which sees a Hollywood film crew descend on its unassuming streets, led by producer Wendy Patterson (Hendricks).
She was born and raised in Drumbán but left two decades ago under mysterious circumstances, with her surprise return sure to stir up feelings that were buried long ago.
Patterson's arrival also has major implications for local doctor Séamus Proctor (Considine), described as a pillar of the community, who finds himself scrambling to cover a secret he has held since the turn of the millennium.

O’Dowd said: "I bloody love television, and am most engrossed by stories that bring the remarkable to the everyday. I hope we’ve made a beautiful show that an audience will find funny and will keep people on the edge of their seats… and beyond."

Small Town, Big Story was filmed on location around County Wicklow and Boyle, with production wrapping this week on the six-part series, which is eyeing a premiere date in autumn 2024.
The supporting cast also includes David Wilmot, Michelle Forbes, Peter McGann and Evanne Kilgallon, who portray characters frequently found in Drumbán's popular pub, The White Ridge Bar.
The official synopsis describes the plot as about "a rural town of rattled misfits on the border of Ireland and another world, and what happens when a Hollywood production rolls into town, throwing a spotlight on a secret that’s been kept hidden since the eve of the millennium".
Creator O'Dowd is known for his acting roles in The IT Crowd and Bridesmaids, as well as for being both star and creator of Sky original series Moone Boy, which was semi-autobiographical and ran for three seasons.
