Chris O'Dowd's "Small Town, Big Story" will premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW on Thursday, February 27.
"Small Town, Big Story," described as a "very dramatic comedy," stars Emmy award-nominee Christina Hendricks and BAFTA award-winning Paddy Considine and is created and directed by Emmy award-winning Chris O’Dowd.
The trailer released today offers a glimpse of the six-part series that's set in Drumbán, a rural town on the border of Ireland ... and another world.
A synopsis of "Small Town, Big Story" says: "Wendy Patterson (Hendricks), a local girl who found success as a TV producer in Los Angeles, returns to Drumbán after over 20 years, having left under something of a cloud.
"Back in the chaotic microcosm of Drumbán, this time with a film crew in tow, Wendy is caught between her past and her epic new production.
"Séamus Proctor (Considine) is the local doctor, a respected pillar of the community. He has a neat and well-ordered life, or at least he thinks he does. Soon he will find himself in the eye of a storm as a celluloid circus descends, which threatens to blow open a secret he has been harbouring since the Millennium."

Series creator Chris O'Dowd, the Roscommon native behind "Moone Boy," cameos as Jack E McCarthy in the show.
Ahead of the show's debut, O'Dowd, who also featured in the 2011 hit "Bridesmaids," said: "I bloody love television, and am most engrossed by stories that bring the remarkable to the everyday.
"I hope we’ve made a beautiful show that an audience will find funny and will keep people on the edge of their seats…and beyond.”
