We've known about a TV version of the hit movie
Young Offenders for quite some time now and now we finally know when it will air.
RTÉ has announced that the six-part comedy series will debut on RTÉ2 on Thursday, February 8 at 9:30pm.
Lovable rogues Conor and Jock are back with the series following them as they navigate their awkward teenage years, hatching plans and adventures to help distract from their tough home lives and their inability to stay out of trouble at school.
Like the movie, the series was filmed in Cork last summer, and was written and directed by Peter Foott. Joining Alex Murphy and Chris Walley as the lead roles are Hilary Rose and PJ Gallagher.
Commenting on the show, Peter Foott said:
"We cannot wait for Irish audiences to see the new adventures that The Young Offenders have in the TV show. We've been so lucky to have the incredible support of the people of Cork while filming the series. The whole team is really excited for the show to actually be out there and we all hope that the Irish audience will take to the TV show the same way they took to the original film."
