A new six-part comedy-drama, Small Town, Big Story, starring Christina Hendricks and Paddy Considine, is set to premiere on BINGE with a double episode on February 27. The series, set in a fictional Irish town, centres on the disruption caused when a Hollywood production arrives, threatening to reveal a long-held secret.
Here’s the Lowdown: Small Town, Big Story takes place in Drumbán, a small Irish town. Christina Hendricks plays Wendy Patterson, a successful TV producer who returns to her hometown with a Hollywood production. Paddy Considine plays Séamus Proctor, the town doctor, who is guarding a secret dating back to the turn of the millennium. The arrival of the film crew threatens to expose this secret.
What This Means Now: Australian viewers can watch the premiere on BINGE, and also on Hubbl, on Thursday, February 27. The show will also air on Showcase at 8.30pm and be available On Demand. The series is created and directed by Chris O’Dowd (Get Shorty).
The Bigger Picture: This international co-production involves Sky Studios, Playground, FilmNation Entertainment, and HotCod Productions. The talent behind the camera is notable, with directors including O’Dowd, Catherine Morshead, Mike Ahern, and Enda Loughman. The combination of a small-town setting with a Hollywood backdrop, mixed with buried secrets, sets this up as potentially intriguing viewing.
