Marian Keyes’ Walsh Sisters Coming To TV; Ireland’s RTÉ Orders Drama Based On Popular Novels & BBC Gets On Board


'The Walsh Sisters': RTÉ and BBC Team Up to Bring Marian Keyes' Beloved Novels to Television

They navigate the peaks and troughs of their late 20s and 30s with in-jokes, hand-me-down resentments and a few old wounds, but their DNA, history and a shared love of power ballads keep them together in the face of heartbreak, grief, addiction and parenthood. Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Program Acquisition, said: “ The Walsh Sisters novels have given so much pleasure to so many readers over the years, and we are truly delighted that such a wonderful team will be bringing these witty, warm, and oh-so-relatable characters to life.” Dixie Linder, CEO at Cuba Pictures, said “Stefanie Preissner and Kefi Chadwick have crafted a rich and heartfelt adaptation that captures the humor, resilience, and emotion at the heart of these beloved characters and with Ian FitzGibbon at the helm as director, we can’t wait to share the series with everyone.”
