How many of us know the names of Irish series? Well, coffee for sure, delicious food for sure, picturesque places–Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle, Ring of Kerry, Aran Islands, and more, because one would often fall short in describing the Irish cultural landscape. In Ireland–especially Dublin, the capital–the city welcomes people from around the globe to indulge in its rich history, vibrant culture, and lively atmosphere. Ireland’s place holds historical significance, from breathtaking scenic beauty to awe-inspiring islands and castles. Speaking of series, Ireland is also famous for its portrayal of the countryside blended with modernity to the audience through a big, colourful cinematic lens. We can see that the Irish cinema industry welcomes talented actors under one roof, thus creating a remarkable trademark in the history of filmmaking.
Stuart Carolan, an Irish filmmaker, rose to prominence after his crime-drama TV series Love/Hate, which captured significant attention from viewers. Set against the backdrop of Dublin, the story revolved around fictional characters in the criminal underworld. The series ran from 2010 to 2014 for five seasons. Now, in 2025, to captivate fans once again, Carolan has developed a new dark comedy-drama series titled Tall Tales & Murders, featuring an ensemble cast.

In this endeavour, Stuart Carolan is supported by Britain’s famous writer and director, Chris Addison. Throughout his professional career, Addison has explored various fields, including writing, directing, stand-up comedy, and acting. His versatility extends across many forms of entertainment. Although he gained significant recognition for his directorial debut of Armando Iannucci’s Veep, an American political comedy series, which earned him an Emmy nomination for directing 13 episodes, Addison brings his expertise to Tall Tales & Murders, promising to weave the project with his signature wit and creativity.
