A Mayo production will premiere on RTÉ television as part of four brand-new Storyland dramas this December. 

Showcasing fresh Irish storytelling and emerging talent, collectively, they signal a fantastic time for Irish drama. Reflecting a modern, diverse Ireland, championing new voices both in English and as Gaeilge and strengthening a creative industry that continues to punch far above its weight on the national and international stage.

These new dramas mark the latest chapter in Storyland’s mission to support and amplify Ireland’s next generation of writers, directors, producers and actors. Together, the four dramas explore how ordinary lives are upended by pressure, perception and consequence.

Storyland is part of an unprecedented slate of original Irish drama in production in 2025, which will deliver 142 hours of high-quality, homegrown storytelling across screens in Ireland and around the world, firmly placing great local Irish drama on the international stage.

Since its inception in 2009, Storyland has acted as a launch pad for Irish writing, directing, producing and acting talent throughout Ireland to develop and further their careers. This is part of RTÉ’s ongoing strategy to increase its development in drama output, by investing in and supporting the Irish creative industry.
