For us, character and story are key, and Lisa balances both delicately in this unforgiving, raw and sometimes comic love letter to Cork city. We\u2019re incredibly excited and grateful to be trusted with this project, and we\u2019re looking forward to working with Lisa on bringing this story to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McInerney, who will also be writing the series, commented, \u201cI am so excited to work with the Dan\u00fa team on bringing this very Irish saga to the screen. It\u2019s such a privilege to be able revisit and reimagine this story for a new audience and to be able to spend time again with my cast of misfits and chancers.
