The second series of The Dry starts on Wednesday May 15th at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
The eight-part comedy drama is produced by Oscar-winning production company Element Pictures (Poor Things, Normal People), a Fremantle company for RTÉ and ITVX, in association with Screen Ireland, Coimisiún na Meán and ITV Studios.
Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Nancy Harris (Dates) and directed by Paddy Breathnach (Viva, Rosie), the series picks up seven months on, with the Sheridan family in their new state of normality.
The second series of The Dry will air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on May 15th at 9:35pm showing two episodes each week. The first series is available to stream on RTÉ Player now.
The synopsis for the second series is described as follows: “To all outward appearances, it seems like the family is relatively content: Shiv’s been sober, celibate, and solvent for six months, Ant has hung onto his job at the estate agents and his relationship with Max, and Caroline’s making up for a lost time by shagging everyone she meets on Tinder. So far, so normal… Or is it? After all, how normal is it for three grown adults to still be living at home with their parents? Are the Sheridan’s really happy with this new status quo, or have they just rearranged their dysfunction and found another groove of denial to fit into?”
“Shiv is determined to get sobriety right this time, to cut the toxic influences out of her life for good. But what if the biggest threat to Shiv’s stability turns out to be closer to home? Giving up alcohol is one thing…but what about giving up your family?”
At the 21st Anniversary IFTA Awards Ceremony on Saturday, April 20th, Siobhán Cullen (Caroline) received the 2024 Screen Ireland - IFTA Rising Star Award.
