The Dry | Series 2 Preview (ITV1)

Award-winning playwright and BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Nancy Harris (Dates) - and acclaimed director Paddy Breathnach (Viva, Rosie) - return to helm the second series of this acclaimed comedy-drama starring Roisin Gallagher.

Roisin returns as recovering alcoholic Shiv Sheridan, alongside regular cast members from the first series, as the storyline picks up seven months on and we now meet the Sheridans in their new normal - to all outward appearances it seems like the family is relatively content as Shiv’s been sober, celibate and solvent for six months.

Ant has hung onto his job at the estate agent and his relationship with Max, and Caroline’s making up for a lost time by having sex with everyone she meets on Tinder. So far, so normal… or is it?

After all, how normal is it for three grown adults to still be living at home with their parents, and are the Sheridans really happy with this new status quo, or have they just rearranged their dysfunction and found another groove of denial to fit into?

The Dry returns Sunday 12th January at 10:15pm on ITV1.
