- Kate Mulgrew is starring in a new Irish TV series.
- She’ll play a tough New York cop in Ireland.
- Colm Meaney is joining her on screen!
Okay, BuzzMedia fam, we just heard some seriously cool news! Remember Captain Janeway from Star Trek? Or perhaps the incredible Red from Orange is the New Black?
That’s right, we’re talking about the one and only Kate Mulgrew! She’s taking on a brand new role, and honestly, we’re already hooked.
Kate is set to lead a new Irish TV series called ‘The Yank.’ Get ready, because she’s playing a hard-nosed NYPD detective who somehow lands herself in Ireland. Can you even imagine?
Picture it: that no-nonsense, street-smart New York attitude dropped right into the gorgeous, often rainy, green landscapes of Ireland. We’re already thinking about the visual contrast. The gritty urban aesthetic meeting that serene, rustic charm. It’s going to give the show a truly unique vibe, visually speaking.
She won’t be alone on this adventure either! The amazing Colm Meaney, who you might know from Gangs of London, is starring opposite her. What a duo!
This exciting new show is coming from Two Cities Television, the brilliant producers behind ‘Blue Lights.’ It’s being made for the Irish pubcaster RTÉ. So, you know it’s going to be quality drama.
It’s always great to see our favorites taking on new challenges. We’ve seen her command a starship and run a prison kitchen; now she’s bringing the law to the Emerald Isle. Seriously, she’s unstoppable.
Speaking of big names making moves, did you see Imran Khan’s reaction to fans wanting a ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ re-release? He’s definitely got something up his sleeve!
And for those who appreciate the creative minds behind the camera, many British directors are speaking up about residuals. Fair pay for great art, right?
Our Take
We are SO ready for this. Kate Mulgrew is fantastic at playing strong, complex characters. A tough cop, a fish out of water in Ireland? That’s pure gold for storytelling.
The potential for comedy, drama, and intense character moments feels really high. We can’t wait to see her signature intensity bring this NYPD detective to life against such a unique backdrop. This feels like a must-watch, and we’ll definitely be adding it to our binge list!
