The Walsh Sisters first look pictures revealed ahead of broadcast

RTÉ, in association with the BBC, Screen Ireland and Cineflix Rights has released first look photos of upcoming comedy drama series The Walsh Sisters. Based on the novels by best-selling author Marian Keyes, the series will begin on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Sunday 28 September at 9.30pm. The show is due to appear on the BBC, though we have no date, yet.

What is the show about?

Part based on the blockbuster novels Rachel’s Holiday and Anybody Out There, the six-part series is a darkly funny, emotionally raw drama about five Irish sisters— Anna, Rachel, Claire, Maggie, and Helen — bound by love, history, and a tendency to self-destruct.

When Rachel’s addiction spirals out of control, it sets off a chain of events that shakes the entire family to its core. Anna faces a profound personal crisis, while Rachel is forced into rehab and must face the chaos she’s created. Claire is struggling to redefine herself as a single mother, Maggie is desperate to start a family of her own, and Helen, stoic and sharp, is hiding battles that no one can see. As they stumble through secrets, family feuds, and moments of grace, each sister must confront who they really are and the roles they’ve always played. At its heart, the series is about messy love, painful growth, and the bonds that hold us together.

Who is in it?

Headlining the cast are Louisa Harland (Derry Girls, Renegade Nell, Love/Hate) as the troubled Anna Walsh and Caroline Menton (Oddity, All Creatures Great and Small) taking on the role of one of Marian’s most loved characters, sister Rachel. Danielle Galligan (House of Guinness, Spilt Milk, Shadow and Bone) plays eldest sister Claire and Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary, My Lady Jane, Belfast) plays Helen. The final Walsh sister, Maggie, is played by Stefanie Preissner (Solpadeine is My Boyfriend, Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope, How to Adult). Other roles are listed in the press release.

We assume the trailer will appear in the next week or so and will bring it as soon as we see it.
