A new six-part drama based on the beloved novels by Marian Keyes is set to premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Titled The Walsh Sisters, the series draws from Keyes' bestsellers including Rachel's Holiday and Anybody Out There, bringing the chaotic yet loveable Walsh family to the screen.
The cast features Caroline Menton as Rachel, Louisa Harland as Anna, Danielle Galligan as Claire, Mairead Tyers as Helen, and Stefanie Preissner as Maggie. Aidan Quinn and Carrie Crowley portray the parents, Daddy and Mammy Walsh, rounding out the ensemble.
Set in Dublin, the series follows the five Walsh sisters as they navigate their 20s and 30s, dealing with heartbreak, grief, addiction, and parenthood. The synopsis highlights a sisterhood full of in-jokes, old wounds, and a shared love of power ballads that keeps them together.
Originally aired on RTÉ in Ireland last year, the drama has received positive reviews, earning an IMDb score of 6.9. Viewers have praised the cast and storytelling, with one calling it 'brilliant so far' and another noting it makes 'Sunday nights exciting.'
The Walsh Sisters begins on BBC One on Saturday, February 21 at 9:15pm, with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer.
