Production is currently underway on the third series of Dublin restaurant drama, ‘RAW’. The Ecosse Film/Octagon Films co-production started shooting at the end of August and cameras will continue rolling until the end of November.

The third installment of the drama sees the return of IFTA winner Charlene McKenna (Whistleblower), Aisling O’Sullivan (The Clinic), Keith McErlean (Bachelors' Walk) and Ger Ryan (Whistleblower; Family) alongside cast newcomers Padraic Delaney (Perrier’s Bounty) and Marcella Plunkett (Once).

Directed by Simon Massey (Skins, The Bill) and Charlie McCarthy (Pure Mule), the new six-part series sees RAW's owner Fiona (Aisling O'Sullivan) employ Ray Cronin (Padraic Delaney), formerly one of Dublin's most successful restaurateurs, to be her new front of house manager. Ray is a man with a notorious reputation and sparks soon start to fly between the two. Meanwhile RAW's feisty chef Jojo (Charlene McKenna) finally seems ready to settle down and has moved in with her boyfriend Dylan (Paul Reid). However, the arrival of her gorgeous cousin Ellen (Marcella Plunkett) quickly causes things to unravel - Ellen is Jojo's childhood nemesis and she immediately takes a shine to Bobby (Liam Garrigan) leaving Jojo facing some life defining decisions.

Other cast members who feature in the third series include Damon Gameau (The Tracker), Krystof Hadek (Dark Blue World) and Peter Campion (Gosford Park). ‘RAW’ is being produced by Ciara McIlvenny (The Bill) and the executive producers for the third series are Douglas Rae (Nowhere Boy), James Flynn (King Arthur), Morgan O'Sullivan (Camelot), Suzanne McAuley (Love/Hate) and Michael Parke (Imagine Me and You).

‘RAW’s director of photography was Donal Gilligan (The Boys of St Columb’s) before his sudden passing last month. The director of photography on board is now Peter Greenhalgh (Ballet Shoes). The ten week shoot of the third series commenced on August 23rd and will continue until late November in and around Dublin. The drama has enjoyed audience success thus far, having seen its average audience increase from 198,000 in season one to 460,700 in season two.

‘RAW’s post production is being carried out in ScreenScene and is funded by RTÉ. The new series will start its RTÉ broadcast in early 2011.
