The Young Offenders have been keeping us entertained since they first smashed onto our screens in 2016.
Over the last decade, we’ve seen them go from the big screen to the small. And a fifth season is now in the works.
The fourth season returned in 2024 after a four year break. And Conor and Jock played by Alex Murphy and Chris Walley were separated when Jock was sent to jail.
But now the lads have reunited ahead of the fifth season on the red carpet.
Alex supported Chris at the Irish premiere of his upcoming film, Christy.
The synopsis for the Irish film reads: “17-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. Kicked out of his suburban foster home, he moves in with his estranged older brother Shane and his young family. As far as Shane is concerned this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on Cork’s working-class Northside.
“As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his seemingly more corrupting extended family, despite Shane’s efforts to protect him. Shane wants something better for Christy at any cost – even if it means he has to push him away. As the brothers look to reconcile their turbulent past, their family and the community around them offer hope for Christy’s future.”
The film stars breakout talent Danny Power, Diarmuid Noyes, Emma Willis, Alison Oliver and Helen Behan.
Christy hits cinemas on August 29th
