Domhnall Gleeson on LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MYERS

Twenty years after THE OFFICE first graced our screens, Domhnall Gleeson proves he’s the perfect leading man for television comedy’s most anticipated spin-off. In THE PAPER, Gleeson transforms from the supporting player we’ve watched evolve through films like ABOUT TIME and STAR WARS into a commanding comedic presence who anchors this brilliant new series with both intelligence and heart.

Gleeson’s Ned Sampson is a revelation—a newspaper editor who dreamed of being Clark Kent rather than Superman because it seemed “much more noble and much more achievable.” What makes Gleeson’s work in THE PAPER so compelling is how he avoids the trap of simply recreating Steve Carell’s Michael Scott or Ricky Gervais’s David Brent. His Ned is more intelligent, less blundering, yet still endearingly naive—qualities that mirror Gleeson’s own evolution as a performer. The Irish actor brings a warmth and sincerity that transforms what could have been another bumbling boss into someone genuinely worth rooting for. When Ned arrives bright-eyed at The Toledo Truth Teller only to be asked whether he’s there for the newspaper or toilet paper division, Gleeson’s reaction perfectly captures both the character’s optimism and the crushing reality of modern journalism.

For Gleeson, THE PAPER represents the culmination of years of steady, intelligent career choices. From his early work in Irish theatre to his breakthrough in ABOUT TIME, from his stint in the STAR WARS galaxy to his memorable turns in films like EX MACHINA, he’s built a reputation as one of the most reliable and versatile actors of his generation. THE PAPER allows him to synthesize all of that experience into a performance that feels effortless while carrying the weight of an entire series.

Domnhall sat down with SNL legend Seth Myers on his late show to discuss the new series. THE PAPER is streaming now on Peacock.

Domhnall Gleeson

Brid Brennan for HARRY POTTER series

Brid brennan for HARRY POTTER series

Irish Film and Television Academy award-winning actress Bríd Brennan is stepping into the magical world of Hogwarts as Madam Poppy Pomfrey in HBO’s highly anticipated HARRY POTTER television series, marking another significant milestone in a career that has consistently elevated both intimate character studies and grand cinematic narratives.

The Belfast-born performer brings decades of acclaimed work to this iconic role, having most recently captivated audiences in the Oscar-shortlisted short film ROOM TAKEN, which was executive produced by Colin Farrell. This latest project showcases Brennan’s continued relevance in contemporary cinema, demonstrating her ability to collaborate with A-list talent while maintaining her reputation for choosing compelling, character-driven stories that resonate with both critics and audiences.

Brennan’s recent filmography reflects an artist at the height of her powers, building upon a foundation established through memorable performances in BROOKLYN in 2015, where she brought nuanced depth to Saoirse Ronan’s immigrant story, and the politically charged thriller SHADOW DANCER in 2012. These roles have positioned her as one of Ireland’s most versatile performers, equally comfortable in period pieces and contemporary dramas, always bringing an authenticity that stems from her deep understanding of human complexity.

Her casting as the Hogwarts matron represents a fascinating evolution from her breakout role in DANCING AT LUGHNASA back in 1998, where she first demonstrated her ability to inhabit characters with both strength and vulnerability. The transition from playing one of the Mundy sisters in that beloved adaptation to becoming the caring medical authority at wizarding school’s most famous institution speaks to Brennan’s range and the trust that casting directors place in her ability to embody maternal figures who are far more complex than they initially appear.

What makes this casting particularly intriguing is how Brennan will reinterpret a role originally brought to life by Gemma Jones in the film series. While Jones established Madam Pomfrey as a competent, no-nonsense healer, Brennan’s proven ability to find unexpected emotional depths in seemingly straightforward characters suggests she will bring new dimensions to the character when the series debuts on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.

The HBO series, currently in production under the guidance of writer and executive producer Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod, promises to expand beyond the constraints of the original film adaptations, exploring storylines that the movies couldn’t accommodate. This expanded canvas seems perfectly suited to Brennan’s talents, as her recent work has consistently demonstrated her skill at finding the extraordinary within the ordinary, the profound within the practical.

For Brennan, stepping into the halls of Hogwarts represents not just another role, but a testament to a career built on consistent excellence and an unwavering commitment to bringing truth to every character she portrays, whether they exist in the kitchen of a Donegal cottage, the streets of 1950s Brooklyn, or the magical corridors of the world’s most famous wizarding school.

RIVALS Season Two coming to Disney+

The champagne corks are popping in the Cotswolds as Disney+ officially greenlights RIVALS for a second season, with cameras already rolling as of May 2025. Jilly Cooper’s scandalous adaptation proved irresistible to viewers, transforming from a modest eight-episode debut into an expanded twelve-episode sophomore season that promises even more backstabbing, bedroom politics, and British upper-class debauchery.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the show’s breakout star. After years of bouncing between supporting roles in films like THE GENTLEMEN and television appearances that never quite captured the public imagination, this Cotswolds romp has become the career-defining moment that fans have been waiting for. The razor-sharp wit and aristocratic charm that made him a household name decades ago now feels perfectly calibrated for the ruthless world of 1980s British television, where power brokers circle like sharks in Savile Row suits.

Season one’s explosive finale left Lord Tony Baddingham’s fate hanging in the balance, while the simmering tension between Rupert Campbell Black and Taggie O’Hara reached a fever pitch that had viewers refreshing their Disney+ feeds for renewal news. The show’s success lies not just in its lavish period detail or the rolling hills of its countryside setting, but in how it captures the particular brand of cruelty that only the British elite can perfect, wrapped in enough sexual tension to steam up a Bentley’s windows.

The casting coup continues with Hayley Atwell and Rupert Everett joining as Helen and Malise Gordon, adding fresh blood to an already intoxicating mix of ambition and betrayal. These aren’t mere additions to fill episode time; they’re strategic moves that promise to deepen the show’s exploration of how power corrupts and how the wealthy play games with other people’s lives as their favorite pastime.

What started as a nostalgic trip back to shoulder pads and excess has evolved into something more substantial, a meditation on class, privilege, and the particular way that British society packages its cruelties in good manners and better tailoring. The show understands that behind every perfectly manicured estate lies a web of secrets that could destroy reputations, marriages, and entire empires with a single well-placed whisper at the right dinner party.

With filming underway and an early 2026 release window taking shape, RIVALS has positioned itself as the prestige drama that doesn’t apologize for being entertaining, proving that sometimes the most revealing stories about power come wrapped in silk scarves and served with a perfectly chilled glass of champagne. The second season won’t just continue where the first left off; it will dig deeper into the moral quicksand that lies beneath every perfectly pruned hedge in this glittering world where everyone has something to hide.

THE TRAITORS IRELAND now streaming

TRAITORS IRELAND now streaming

The ancient stones of Slane Castle have witnessed centuries of Irish history, but nothing quite like what unfolded when twenty-four strangers gathered within its walls for THE TRAITORS IRELAND this past Sunday. In a dramatic shift from her beloved role as the sharp-tongued Sister Michael in DERRY GIRLS, BAFTA-winning actress Siobhán McSweeney has traded her nun’s habit for the role of puppet master, orchestrating a game where paranoia reigns supreme and trust is the deadliest currency.

McSweeney’s journey to hosting THE TRAITORS IRELAND represents a fascinating evolution in her recent career trajectory. Since January 2021, she has been the presenter on The Great Pottery Throw Down on Channel 4, proving her hosting chops in an entirely different arena where creativity flows through clay rather than deception. The transition from guiding amateur potters through their artistic challenges to overseeing psychological warfare among strangers showcases McSweeney’s remarkable range as a presenter. Her work on THE GREAT POTTERY THROW DOWN, where she nurtures contestants through their creative struggles, provides the perfect counterpoint to her new role presiding over deliberate betrayal and calculated manipulation.

McSweeney’s most recent venture, however, has taken her behind the camera. She’s made her directorial debut with Spud (2024), a short comedy film for the BBC, demonstrating her expanding creative ambitions beyond both acting and presenting. This directorial work, combined with her hosting duties and her continued presence in the entertainment landscape, positions her as one of Ireland’s most versatile performers, equally comfortable commanding attention from behind the camera as she is in front of it.

The setting itself becomes a character in this Irish edition of the international phenomenon. Slane Castle in County Meath, with its Gothic towers and ancient secrets, provides the perfect backdrop for a game built on hidden identities and midnight eliminations. Within these walls, contestants from across Ireland – from Cork to Donegal, from Dublin to Waterford – must navigate a psychological minefield where the Traitors, chosen in secret during the opening episode, work to systematically eliminate the Faithful while maintaining their cover.

The stakes could not be higher, with a prize pot of up to €50,000 awaiting those clever enough to outwit, outlast, and outmaneuver their fellow competitors. But in THE TRAITORS IRELAND, money is secondary to survival, and survival depends entirely on reading the room, interpreting glances, and deciphering whether that friendly smile conceals a knife poised to strike.

What makes McSweeney’s casting particularly inspired is how her natural authority, honed through years of commanding stages and television screens, translates perfectly to this role of orchestrating chaos. She brings the same commanding presence that made Sister Michael unforgettable in DERRY GIRLS, but now that authority serves a different purpose – overseeing a game where deception is not just encouraged but essential for victory. The producers’ promise that this Irish edition will deliver all the paranoia, twists, and shocking revelations that have made THE TRAITORS an international sensation feels entirely credible with McSweeney at the helm.

As THE TRAITORS IRELAND premiered Sunday evening at 9:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, viewers witnessed the beginning of what promises to be a masterclass in psychological manipulation wrapped in the elegant brutality that only Irish storytelling can deliver. The game of lies, loyalty, and lethal betrayals has officially begun, and with Siobhán McSweeney presiding over the proceedings, audiences can expect nothing less than television that cuts as deep as the Irish wit that guides it.

Siobhán McSweeney

Brosnan’s memory lane

Brosnan's memory lane

At 72, Pierce Brosnan moves between his homes in Hawaii and Malibu with the easy grace of a man who has found his rhythm in life’s later acts. His latest venture brings him to London for THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB, where he trades the tuxedos and martinis of his Bond years for the cardigans and tea cups of Richard Osman’s beloved cosy crime adaptation. Alongside Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie, Brosnan embodies a retirement-home sleuth whose weekly hobby of solving cold cases takes a decidedly deadly turn when fresh corpses begin appearing.

This career pivot speaks to something remarkable about Brosnan’s enduring appeal. While many actors struggle to escape the shadow of iconic roles, he has embraced reinvention with characteristic charm. His Bond tenure, spanning from the triumphant GOLDENEYE in 1995 to the widely panned DIE ANOTHER DAY in 2002, carried unique weight in the franchise’s evolution. Brosnan’s 007 became the first to grapple seriously with the character’s chauvinistic legacy, balancing classic heroism with moments of necessary humility as the world around Bond—and cinema itself—began demanding accountability from its heroes.

The seeds of his Bond connection were planted long before he donned the role, during a childhood cinema trip to see GOLDFINGER at London’s ABC Putney in September 1964. That month marked his reunion with his mother after years living with relatives in Ireland while she completed nursing training in London. In one of those curious coincidences that seem to thread through destiny, Ian Fleming died that same August, just as eleven-year-old Brosnan arrived in the city that would shape his future.

When Roger Moore finally stepped down in the late 1980s, the role seemed Brosnan’s for the taking. Instead, contractual obligations to his American television success REMINGTON STEELE—where his portrayal of a charming conman-turned-detective had already showcased the suave sophistication that would define his Bond—kept him bound. Timothy Dalton stepped into the breach, though fate would eventually circle back to give Brosnan his moment.

Now, as he strolls through the north London streets where he once cut his teeth as a young actor, Brosnan embodies something increasingly rare in contemporary celebrity: genuine contentment with the passage of time. THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB represents not a desperate grasp for relevance but a confident actor’s choice to explore new territories. In trading international espionage for genteel English murder mysteries, he demonstrates that true star power lies not in clinging to past glories but in the wisdom to know when to reinvent yourself—and the skill to make that reinvention look effortless.

THE PAPER sneak peek

The documentary cameras that once captured the mundane chaos of Dunder Mifflin are rolling again, but this time they’ve traded paper sales for newspaper headlines. Greg Daniels, the mastermind behind THE OFFICE, has partnered with Michael Koman of NATHAN FOR YOU fame to deliver The Paper, a ten-episode comedy series that promises to recapture the mockumentary magic that made us fall in love with workplace dysfunction.

Set to drop all episodes at once on Peacock this September 4th, THE PAPER transports viewers to Toledo, Ohio, where the struggling Truth-Teller newspaper becomes the latest subject of our familiar documentary crew. At the center of this journalistic trainwreck is Ned Sampson, played by Domhnall Gleeson, whose previous work in EX MACHINA and ABOUT TIME showcased his ability to blend vulnerability with determination—qualities that seem perfectly suited for a man tasked with reviving a dying newspaper in America’s heartland.

The recently released sneak peek offers a tantalizing glimpse into the series’ comedic DNA. Gleeson’s Ned orchestrates a painfully staged meeting, coaching his bewildered staff on their responses while mysterious suited figures observe through glass conference room walls. It’s a moment that perfectly encapsulates the performative desperation of modern media, where appearances matter more than substance, and everyone’s playing a role they barely understand.

What makes THE PAPER particularly intriguing is its stellar ensemble cast, anchored by Tony Award winner Alex Edelman, who not only stars but also writes for the series. Edelman, fresh off his Special Tony Award win for the one-man show Just for Us, brings a sharp comedic sensibility that should complement the series’ satirical edge. The supporting cast reads like a who’s who of character actors: Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Ramona Young, and Tim Key, with Oscar Nuñez reprising his beloved role as Oscar Martinez—a delightful bridge connecting this new world to the Scranton we know and love.

The guest star roster elevates expectations even higher, featuring Broadway veterans Tracy Letts and Molly Ephraim. Letts, whose Tony-winning work includes AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY and WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, brings gravitas and theatrical timing that could prove essential in grounding the series’ more absurd moments. Ephraim, known for her Broadway turns in INTO THE WOODS and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, adds another layer of stage-trained precision to the proceedings.

Originally planned as a weekly release, Peacock’s decision to drop all episodes simultaneously suggests confidence in the show’s binge-worthy potential. This format allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in the Toledo Truth-Teller’s world without the weekly wait that might disrupt the mockumentary’s naturalistic flow. It’s a smart move that acknowledges how audiences consume comedy today while respecting the show’s narrative rhythm.

Domhnall Gleeson

HOUSE OF GUINNESS prems Sep 25

The foggy streets of Birmingham are behind us now. Steven Knight, the mastermind who gave us PEAKY BLINDERS, is trading razor-blade caps and cigarette smoke for something far more intoxicating: the dark, frothy legacy of Ireland’s most notorious brewing dynasty. When HOUSE OF GUINNESS premieres on Netflix this September 25, audiences won’t just be witnessing another lavish period drama about wealth and power—they’ll be diving headfirst into the shocking true story of a family whose scandals, betrayals, and generational secrets have somehow managed to stay buried beneath centuries of perfectly poured pints.

This is the story that Ireland never wanted told, the one that transforms your casual pub visit into something far more sinister. Set against the backdrop of 1860s Dublin and New York, the eight-part series zeroes in on one of the most explosive moments in brewing history: the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness in 1868 and the catastrophic aftermath of his will reading. Benjamin wasn’t just another wealthy industrialist—he was the grandson of Arthur Guinness himself, the visionary who famously signed that audacious 9,000-year lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery in 1759, essentially betting on eternity. Under Benjamin’s iron grip, the family business had evolved from a local Dublin operation into a global empire, their signature black stout flowing through the veins of the British Empire and beyond.

But empires built on liquid gold are particularly vulnerable to family poison, and Benjamin’s death ignited a feud that would make the Peaky Blinders look like choirboys. The series follows his four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—as they navigate the treacherous waters of inheritance, ambition, and sibling rivalry. Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea embody these young heirs who suddenly find themselves custodians of “black gold,” facing the terrifying prospect of either expanding their grandfather’s legacy or watching it crumble under the weight of their own desires.

Knight describes his fascination with this “naturally wild” clan, particularly their “zest for life—their lust for life, often literally.” It’s this raw, unapologetic appetite that drives the narrative, transforming what could have been a dry historical chronicle into something visceral and immediate. The recently released photos reveal siblings caught between ecstatic highs and heartbreaking lows, their faces reflecting the intoxicating burden of being born into greatness while simultaneously being capable of destroying it.

What makes HOUSE OF GUINNESS particularly compelling is how it illuminates the human cost of building an empire. These aren’t just wealthy heirs playing with their inheritance—they’re young people grappling with impossible expectations, their every decision capable of toppling a dynasty that took generations to build. Knight’s genius lies in recognizing that the most interesting stories aren’t about the creation of empires, but about their potential destruction from within.

The series promises to explore not just the family dynamics, but the broader ecosystem that sustained the Guinness phenomenon—the workers, the politicians, the hangers-on, and the countless Dublin characters whose lives became intertwined with the brewery’s success. This is Ireland during a period of massive transformation, when old ways were dying and new opportunities were emerging for those bold enough or ruthless enough to seize them.

For Knight, who earned an Oscar nomination for his previous work, this represents a natural evolution from the grimy streets of post-war Birmingham to the equally complex but more opulent world of Victorian Dublin. The themes remain consistent—family loyalty, the corruption of power, the price of ambition—but the stakes feel even higher when your family name is literally synonymous with Ireland itself.

HOUSE OF GUINNESS arrives at a moment when audiences are hungry for stories that blend historical authenticity with contemporary relevance. This isn’t just about understanding how a brewery became a global brand; it’s about examining how families navigate the impossible pressure of living up to legendary legacies while dealing with very human flaws and desires. The Guinness name may be on every pub wall across the world, but the family behind it has remained mysteriously private—until now.

Netflix

STEVE trailer released

Cillian Murphy is having a moment. Fresh off his Oscar win for OPPENHEIMER, the Irish actor could easily coast on blockbuster offers and prestige projects. Instead, he’s doubling down on intimate, challenging material that showcases his evolution from magnetic screen presence to thoughtful producer-star committed to meaningful storytelling.

His latest venture, STEVE, premieres at the Toronto Film Festival before hitting select theaters September 19 and landing on Netflix October 3. This isn’t your typical post-Oscar victory lap—it’s Murphy leaning into the kind of raw, uncompromising drama that originally caught Christopher Nolan’s attention years before BATMAN BEGINS launched his Hollywood trajectory.

Set in the mid-1990s, STEVE follows a pivotal day at a last-chance reform school where Murphy’s titular headteacher battles to save his institution while wrestling with his own deteriorating mental health. The drama unfolds against the backdrop of a documentary crew interviewing students and faculty, creating a voyeuristic tension that mirrors our current obsession with performative authenticity. It’s adapted from Max Porter’s 2023 novella “Shy,” reimagined for the screen by Porter himself—continuing a creative partnership that began when Murphy starred in the stage adaptation of Porter’s “Grief Is the Thing with Feathers.”

This collaboration exemplifies Murphy’s current creative strategy: surrounding himself with trusted voices while expanding his influence behind the camera. Through Big Things Films, the production company he founded with partner Alan Moloney, Murphy is curating a distinctly European sensibility that stands apart from Hollywood’s franchise machinery. Their debut feature, SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE, established the company’s commitment to literary adaptations that prioritize character over spectacle.

The ensemble Murphy has assembled for STEVE reflects his knack for inspired casting. Tracey Ullman delivers what’s being described as a stunning dramatic turn, while Top Boy’s Simbi Ajikawo and Oscar nominee Emily Watson round out a cast that blends established talent with emerging voices like Jay Lycurgo, who plays the troubled teen Shy. Lycurgo, notably, will also appear in the upcoming PEAKY BLINDERS feature film, suggesting Murphy’s growing influence in shaping the next generation of British talent.

Director Tim Mielants brings a visual sensibility honed on PEAKY BLINDERS‘ third season and refined through his work with Murphy on SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE. This continuity of collaborators isn’t coincidence—it’s Murphy consciously building a creative ecosystem where trust allows for greater artistic risk-taking.
