Current Productions

Recent productions include David Ireland’s Belfast-set dark comedy The Lovers for Sky/Sundance, starring Johnny Flynn and Róisín Gallagher as Seamus and Janet, two very different people who instantly clash – and yet somehow find themselves drawn to one another. Gallagher has recently received a BAFTA nomination for Best Female Performance in Comedy for her portrayal of Janet. All six episodes are now streaming on Sky and NOWTV.

Nicole Taylor’s adaptation for TV of David Nicholls’ beloved novel One Day starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, was released 8th of February and has since stayed in Netflix top 10s across the world, receiving rave reviews for cast and crew across print, online, and social media. All 14 episodes can now be streamed only on Netflix.

Drama Republic is thrilled to be working next with BAFTA-winning writer Sally Wainwright, following the phenomenal success of Happy Valley, on new drama Riot Women.
