© 2025 - Sky
Sky has shared a trailer for Small Town, Big Story, the upcoming comedy drama series from creator/director Chris O’Dowd.

Christina Hendricks stars as Wendy, a successful TV producer living in L.A. who returns to her small rural Irish hometown after two decades to choose a filming location for her latest big budget TV show, and threatens to expose a secret she has shared with a respectable local doctor Seamus (Paddy Considine) that they have shared since the millennium. Watch the trailer below…

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.

Joining Hendricks and Considine in the cast are Eileen Walsh, Leia Murphy, David Rawle, Patrick Martins, Evanne Kilgallon, Andrew Bennett, Ruth McCabe, David Wilmot, Michèle Forbes, Sam C Wilson, Peter McGann, Ruth Codd, Jamie Michie, Ian McElhinney, Clarke Peters, and Tim Heidecker

Set in the fictional rural town of Drumbán, the quiet lives of the locals are upturned when a big TV production unit moves in.

But it's more than just the clash of cultures. Hendrick's big American producer Wendy secretly has plenty of history with the town — and Considine's family man and doctor Séamus in particular.

"I wrote this in the utter f**king pits of lockdown, which is why I think it took an almost cosmic turn and became something quite out of your head. I was in lockdown in Canada, where we were shooting another movie, when the opportunity to write something came along," O'Dowd told Variety of the show in October.

"It’s the only time I’ve ever felt in my life where I wasn’t really in control. I was just struggling to keep awake to write down all of these thoughts flowing through me. It was great craic."

2025 will also see the premiere of the eighth and final season of another of O'Dowd's big shows, the hit animated Netflix comedy Big Mouth.

When it was announced in 2023 that the show would be ending, co-creator and star Nick Kroll told Deadline: "If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take eight years to finish, they would have been like, 'Yeah, that sounds about right.' This seems like it will never end."

Small Town, Big Story will premiere on Thursday, February 27 on Sky and NOW in the UK and Ireland.

Awards Full list
Christina Rene Hendricks (born May 3, 1975) is an American actress and former model. With an extensive career on screen and stage, she has received various accolades, including six Primetime Emmy Award nominations, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Critics' Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She is known for her role as Joan Harris in the critically acclaimed AMC drama series Mad Men. In 2010, a poll of female readers taken by Esquire magazine named her "the sexiest woman in the world".[2] She was also voted "Best Looking Woman in America".[2][3]

Born to an American mother and English father in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hendricks was raised in Portland, Oregon, and Twin Falls, Idaho, where she became active in local theater. After completing high school in Virginia, she moved to New York City and pursued a career as a model following her entry into a Seventeen cover contest. She continued to work internationally as a model for over a decade before transitioning into acting.

Hendricks had recurring roles in several television series, including Beggars and Choosers (2001–2002) and Kevin Hill (2004–2005) before being cast as Joan Holloway on the AMC period drama series Mad Men in 2007, of which she remained a main cast member until the series' conclusion in 2015. She received critical acclaim for her role, including six Emmy Award nominations and multiple Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Ensemble. While on Mad Men, she also began appearing in films, receiving critical notice for her performance in Nicolas Winding Refn's action-drama Drive (2011), Sally Potter's drama Ginger & Rosa (2012), and Ryan Gosling's neo-noir fantasy Lost River (2014).

Following the conclusion of Mad Men, Hendricks starred in the comedy series Another Period from 2015 to 2016, and in the SundanceTV drama series Hap and Leonard (2016). She reunited with Refn for a supporting role in his thriller film The Neon Demon (2016), followed by roles in the comedy Fist Fight (2017), the horror film The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018), and the animated comedy Toy Story 4 (2019). She returned to television with starring roles on the crime drama series Tin Star (2017–2019) and on the NBC comedy-crime series Good Girls (2018–2021).[4]

Early life
Christina Rene Hendricks was born on May 3, 1975,[5] in Knoxville, Tennessee,[6] the second child of American mother Jackie Sue Hendricks (née Raymond), a psychologist, and English father Robert Hendricks, a Forest Service employee originally from Birmingham.[7] Through her father, she has dual British and American citizenship.[8] She has one older brother.[9] Her family relocated frequently due to her father's Forest Service job—first to Georgia when she was two months old,[10] then to Portland, Oregon, where she attended elementary school.[9][11][12]

When Hendricks was nine years old, the family moved from Portland to Twin Falls, Idaho, where she completed elementary and middle school.[13] She described her family as "outdoorsy", relating that they frequently went on camping trips in the Pacific Northwest.[14] Her mother encouraged her and her brother to join a local theater group in Twin Falls to make friends, and Hendricks appeared in a production there of Grease.[9] She recalled, "I had all these amazing friends through the theatre company. And it was a community that really respected theatre. The kids would put on a play and the entire town would show. And you were cool if you were an actor."[9] A natural blonde, Hendricks began coloring her hair red at age 10, inspired by the book Anne of Green Gables.[15]

When Hendricks was a teenager, her father's job required the family to move near Washington, D.C. They settled in Fairfax, Virginia. She described the move from Idaho to Virginia as "traumatic" for her, and she was frequently bullied while attending Fairfax High School.[16] Hendricks described herself as an "outcast" and a "goth" and found companionship in the school's drama department, where she appeared in plays.[17] In addition to theater, she studied ballet throughout her teen years.[18] She left Fairfax High School in her senior year and completed her studies at a local community college.[19]

Career
1994–2006: Modeling career and early acting

Hendricks in 2005
After high school, Hendricks worked as a receptionist and shampoo girl at a salon before entering a competition to appear on the cover of Seventeen magazine. This resulted in her signing with IMG Models,[20] after which she moved to New York City at age 18,[21] forgoing her pre-acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University's drama school.[22]

She began modeling in New York, London, and Japan between the ages of 18 and 27 before transitioning into commercials.[23] She lived in London for around a year during this period, living with two friends who were teachers.[24] In her early twenties, she moved with her mother and brother to Los Angeles, California.[25] Initially, she pursued a career in the administrative sector of the music business, but was dissuaded by friends, and kept working as a model before auditioning for acting roles.[26] She appeared in commercials for Carl's Jr. and Dr. Pepper,[27] and starred in the music video for Everclear's "One Hit Wonder" (1997).[28] She was the hand model in the poster for the film American Beauty.[29]

She made her television debut in the MTV anthology series Undressed. Her first starring role was as an intern on Beggars and Choosers, a Showtime comedy series about a group of young professionals that was filmed in Vancouver and ran from 1999 to 2001.[30] She also had a guest role on the series Angel in 2000. She subsequently appeared in the television film The Big Time (2002), and had recurring guest roles on ER (2002), The Court (2003), and Firefly (2002–2003). After a guest appearance on Tru Calling, she was cast as Nicolette Ray in the UPN legal drama Kevin Hill, which aired during the 2004–05 television season.[31]

2007–2015: Mad Men and rise to prominence
In perhaps her best-known role to date, Hendricks played office manager Joan Holloway on the AMC series Mad Men, set in a series of fictitious advertising agencies in 1960s New York City. Her performance received critical praise, and earned her six Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series over the show's seven seasons.[32]

Also in 2007, Hendricks made her feature film debut in La Cucina, a drama film that premiered on Showtime in December 2009, starring Hendricks as a writer.[33] That year, she also starred in the thriller film South of Pico,[34] and appeared in four episodes of the NBC series Life (2007–2008) in the recurring role of Olivia, detective Charlie Crews' soon-to-be stepmother and Ted Earley's love interest.

In 2010, she appeared in the musical video for "The Ghost Inside" on Broken Bells by Broken Bells.[35]

She appeared in a supporting role in the action-thriller Drive (2011), directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.[36] The following year, she was cast in a supporting role in Sally Potter's drama film Ginger & Rosa, playing the countercultural mother of a teenager growing up in the 1960s.[37] In 2011, she appeared onstage in a production of Stephen Sondheim's Company at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.[38] She lent her voice and likeness in the 2011 racing video game Need for Speed: The Run, playing the role of Sam Harper.[39][40]

In 2014, she played the lead character in Ryan Gosling's directorial debut Lost River, a fantasy film set in Detroit;[41] it received mixed reviews.[42] She voiced Zarina in Disney's The Pirate Fairy. She starred in the novel adaptation Dark Places (2015).[43] After the conclusion of Mad Men in 2015, she starred as a prostitute in two seasons of the Comedy Central series Another Period (2015–2016), set in the early 20th century.[44]

2016–present: Good Girls and other roles
In 2016, she appeared as one of the leads in Refn's thriller film The Neon Demon, portraying a modeling agent.[45] Critical response to the film was polarized, though the French film magazine Cahiers du cinéma named it the third-best film of 2016.[46] The same year, she starred in six episodes of the series Hap and Leonard, playing the ex-wife of investigator Hap Collins.[47]

In 2018, she appeared in home-invasion based horror film The Strangers: Prey at Night, playing the matriarch of a family under siege by killers. Upon release, the film received generally unfavorable reviews from critics,[48][49][50] though The Guardian's Benjamin Lee praised Hendricks's performance.[51] It was a commercial success, however, grossing $30 million.[52]

In 2018, Hendricks returned to television in the Amazon Prime series The Romanoffs, reuniting with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner.[53] She stars as one of the leads on the NBC comedy crime series Good Girls, playing a woman who attempts to gain financial control of her life by holding up a grocery store.[54] The show ran until 2021.[55] In late 2018, Hendricks starred opposite Sienna Miller in the drama American Woman, portraying a woman helping her sister raise her family in rural Pennsylvania.[56] She also voiced Gabby Gabby, the main antivillain in the Disney/Pixar animated sequel Toy Story 4 (2019).[57] In 2020, Hendricks voices Officer Jaffe in the Warner Bros. 2020' Scooby-Doo film Scoob!.

Personal life and public image
On October 11, 2009, Hendricks married actor Geoffrey Arend.[58] Ten years later it was announced that they had separated, with a divorce finalized in December 2019.[59][60] As of 2021, she was in a relationship with camera operator George Bianchini. They announced their engagement in March 2023,[61] and married on April 20, 2024.[62]

Hendricks commented in September 2010 that the media is too focused on women's bodies and not their actual talents. "I was working my butt off on Mad Men and then all anyone was talking about was my body."[63][64]

Sky Atlantic is a British pay television channel owned by Sky Group Limited broadcast in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The channel is primarily dedicated to imported programmes from the United States, and holds the domestic rights to HBO programming until 2025 (this doesn't cover Max original programming). It also broadcasts many original British produced Sky dramas. It is exclusively available on the Sky satellite TV platform (including Sky Go) and Sky's Now TV platform. Unlike the other channels from Sky Group, Sky Atlantic is not on Virgin Media.[1] On 15 January 2024, select programming begun being simulcast on Sky Showcase.[2]

Sky Deutschland broadcasts a German-language version of the channel in Germany and Austria, while Sky Italia broadcasts an Italian-language version of the channel in Italy. Their programming is also dominated by HBO and Showtime series, usually dubbed in the domestic language. The Italian channel also premieres Sky Originals produced in the country, like The Young Pope and Gomorrah.

Background
Sky Atlantic launched on 1 February 2011 on Sky in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[3][4][5] Separated channels with the same name operate in Germany, Austria and Italy.

Sky Atlantic is available in both standard definition and high definition, the latter on Sky Atlantic HD.[6] Stuart Murphy extended his responsibilities to become director of programmes for Sky One, Sky Two, Pick and Sky Atlantic.[4] On 5 May 2011, Elaine Pyke, the head of drama at Sky, was promoted to director of Sky Atlantic, reporting to Murphy.[7]

Programmes on the channel are also offered to Sky customers via on-demand channels including the On Demand and Sky Go services and Now TV. Both BT TV and Virgin Media had held talks with Sky over the new channel but have been unable to agree a carriage deal,[8] in Virgin's case due to pricing.[9]

It was announced on 25 October 2010 that Sky Atlantic would launch on Sky channel 108, which was previously occupied by Sky 3.[10] Sky Atlantic also utilises the HD swap bouquet system developed by Sky, which switches SD channels with HD channels for HD Pack subscribers, meaning Sky Atlantic HD is on channel 108 and the standard definition version appears on channel 808.[11]

Sky Atlantic +1
A one-hour timeshift of Sky Atlantic started broadcasting on 20 September 2012 on channel 173.[12] It moved to channel 170 on 9 June 2015 as part of a reshuffle which also included the closure of Sky 3D, Sky Livingit becoming Real Lives and Sky Arts 1 and Sky Arts 2 merging to become simply Sky Arts. It moved to channel 217 on 18 July 2017 as part of the Sky Sports reshuffle which included Sky Sports Mix moving to entertainment, and again to 208 on 1 May 2018 as part of Sky's major EPG reshuffle due to Sky Atlantic being channel 108.

Sky Atlantic VIP
Sky Atlantic VIP was a rewards channel for subscribers of Sky TV who had been with Sky for 2 or more years and for subscribers who had the Sky Original Bundle (later Sky Entertainment pack, then Sky Signature pack). The HD version also required the HD pack in the UK and the Sky Box Sets pack in Ireland.

The channel only broadcast brand new episodes of a popular show a week or so before being shown on the main Sky Atlantic channel. An example of this is when episodes of Riviera were shown first on Sky Atlantic VIP, then a week or so later on Sky Atlantic. Sky Atlantic VIP was under Sky VIP's "See-It-First" offer. Sky VIP is a rewards programme for long-term Sky subscribers.

When the channel was not broadcasting a brand new episode of a programme, the channel was off-air resulting in the channel being on-air only for a few hours per week. The channel only broadcast adverts for programmes on Sky channels. The SD version was on Sky channel 994 with the HD version on channel 995. The channel closed on 12 June 2019.

Acquired programming
Sky Atlantic relies heavily on screenings of US television programmes, with more than 50% of all programming coming from HBO.[23] Although the channel mainly screens dramas, blocks in the channel's schedule were dedicated to comedies and movies.[24][25] The launch of Sky Atlantic in 2011 followed the broadcaster's £150m,[26] five-year deal to buy exclusive UK and Irish TV rights to HBO's entire archive, new HBO programming and a first-look deal on all co-productions.[27] Although it has been renewed since, the exclusivity deal with HBO is currently set to expire by the end of 2025,[28] allowing for the launch of Max in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy in 2026.[29] Despite this, Sky planned to acquire new and returning series via separate agreements on a programme-by-programme basis,[30] including House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The White Lotus and Euphoria.[31] In December 2024, a new agreement was made between Sky UK & Ireland and Warner Bros. Discovery that extended Sky's distribution of HBO original programming until Max launched in the United Kingdom and Ireland in early 2026. The agreement would also allow for all HBO programming that premiered on Sky Atlantic through the end of 2025 to continue to air there exclusively and for future series in existing franchises to continue on Sky Atlantic while new series like the untitled Harry Potter series will be released on Max.[32]

In January 2016, Sky expanded the acquired programming on Atlantic after purchasing the broadcast rights to Showtime programming; however, Sky Atlantic does not broadcast all Showtime programmes, as some series would later air on Channel 4 as part of a separate deal.[33] The deal with Showtime expired in December 2021, with all future series becoming exclusive to Paramount+, while a separate agreement allowed Billions to continue on Sky.[34]

American Horror Story
American Horror Stories is an American horror anthology television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk for FX on Hulu. Originally premiering on July 15, 2021, the series serves as a direct spin-off/companion series to American Horror Story, and the third installment in the American Story media franchise. In contrast to American Horror Story, which tells a different story throughout each season, Stories tells a different story in each individual episode (except the double-episode premiere and connected finale episode of the first season).

Returning cast members from the original show, usually playing a new character, include Matt Bomer, Celia Finkelstein, Naomi Grossman, John Carroll Lynch, Charles Melton, Billie Lourd, Chad James Buchanan, Cody Fern, Dylan McDermott, Jamie Brewer, Denis O'Hare, Matt Lasky, Gabourey Sidibe, Max Greenfield, Austin Woods, Seth Gabel, Rebecca Dayan, Cameron Cowperthwaite, Spencer Neville, Teddy Sears, Jeff Hiller, Casey Thomas Brown, and Nick Jacobs.

The second season premiered in July 2022, while the third season was released in two parts across October 2023 and October 2024.

Premise
American Horror Stories is a weekly anthology series where each episode tells a different horror story.[1]

Some episodes of this show are connected to past American Horror Story seasons. The episodes "Rubber(wo)Man Part One", "Rubber(wo)Man Part Two", and "Game Over" are connected with American Horror Story: Murder House, while "Dollhouse" is connected with American Horror Story: Coven.[2]

Production
Development
On May 11, 2020, Murphy revealed that a spin-off series named American Horror Stories was being developed, which would feature self-contained anthological episodes, instead of a season-long story arc as featured in American Horror Story.[1] The first season consists of seven episodes.[3] On August 13, 2021, FX renewed the series for a second season of eight episodes.[4]

The next installment was first reported in May 2023, when it was affected by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[5] In August, it was announced that the episodes would premiere on October 26 as a four-episode "Huluween" event.[6] The next installment of five episodes was first reported on in September 2024 with an expected premiere date of October 15, 2024, as another "Huluween" event, with The Hollywood Reporter referring to it as the fourth season.[7][8]
