Chris O’Dowd Talks Bringing Hollywood to Ireland in Meta Comedy ‘Small Town Big Story’ and His Cameo in the Series (Exclusive)
Ireland has long been home to many major Hollywood productions, but an upcoming comedy series goes a little meta, turning the focus on the chaos that ensues when an actual big-budget Hollywood TV show comes to a small Irish town.
“Small Town Big Story” — Sky Studios, Playground, FilmNation and Hot Cod Productions — was written and directed by Chris O’Dowd and stars Christina Hendricks and Paddy Considine.
The six-part series — due to premiere in the U.K. and Ireland next year and now heading to Mipcom — is set in the fictional town of Drumbán, a rural village of misfits on the border of Ireland.
