- Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan) will play a starring role in the series, which takes advantage of the post-watershed slot to produce a darker, more risqué programme.
- THE LAST RITES OF JOE MAY chronicles the last days in the life of Joe May, an aging, short money hustler who always believed that a glorious destiny awaited him around every corner. Now in his sixties, his health failing and resources dwindling, Joe is presented with one last shot at greatness.
