Irish celebs were out in force on Wednesday to get a sneak peek at RTÉ's upcoming series The Walsh Sisters.
The lovable but dysfunctional family from Marian Keyes' novels will soon transition from book to screen, and the author was there on the night with the actors who brought her characters to life.
The premiere screening took place at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin's Temple Bar with the cast of the new RTÉ Drama in attendance.
Marian Keyes posed on the red carpet with the actors who will play The Walsh Sisters - Caroline Menton, who will play Rachel, Louisa Harland, who will portray Anna, Danielle Galliga,n who is playing Claire, Stefanie Preissner, who is playing Maggie, and Máiréad Tyer, who is taking on the role of Helen.
There were many more Irish celebs out to see the much-anticipated premiere of the show as well, with former RTÉ 2fm presenter Louise McSharry posing with Siomha Ni Ruairc, who is currently pregnant with her first child.
Fiancés Laura Nolan and Matthew MacNabb also rocked the red carpet with pro dancer Laura in a tan leather mini skirt and cream blazer, while Matthew dressed in a casual grey t-shirt and jeans.
Meanwhile, Paralympic gold medalist Ellen Keane wore an animal print dress with chunky black boots to the premiere while P. J. Gallagher was there to support his good friend Stefanie Preissner, who stars in the series and also wrote the show.
The new six-part show is partly based on Marian's books Rachel's Holiday and Anybody Out There, and is described as 'darkly funny, and an emotionally raw drama' about the sisters, who are 'bound by love, history, and a tendency to self-destruct'.
Set in their Dublin hometown, the stories follow five sisters - Anna, Rachel, Maggie, Claire, and Helen, as they navigate the highs and lows of life in their late 20s and 30s.
Rachel's addiction spirals out of control, and naturally, it sets off a change of events that shakes the entire family. She's forced into rehab and must deal with the chaos she's created.
Meanwhile, Anna's struggling with a profound personal crisis, Claire is trying to redefine herself as a single mother, Maggie is desperate to start her own family, and Helen is fighting battles that no one can see.
The Walsh Sisters stumble through secrets, family feuds, and moments of grace, and they each must confront who they really are and the roles they've played.
The Walsh Sisters debuts on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Sunday, September 28, at 9.30pm.
