Co-written by and starring O’Dowd (Bridesmaids, The IT Crowd), the show explores “the life and adventures of Martin Moone and invisible buddy Sean, using Martin’s chaotic, scatter-brained family life as a backdrop”.

Launching on Sky1 next month, Moone Boy will also feature animation from the team behind The Secret Of Kells.

Chris O’Dowd commented: “Moone Boy is a fantastic comedy which centres on a ten year old boy who has an imaginary friend. It is set in the late eighties/early nineties and all of the experiences are ones that I had. It’s a really funny show which has loads of animation and a number of laughs that I hope people will love. It was essential to film in Ireland and what was great about Sky was they wanted us to film here and they were really supportive. That wouldn’t have happened at any other channel.”
