Former ‘Fair City’ actress, best known for her role as Neasa Dillon, has been cast in the second season of BBC’s ‘The Fall’ alongside fellow Irish actor Jamie Dornan, and Gillian Anderson.
IFTN reported last week that filming for the highly anticipated new series has already started in Belfast, with Anderson returning as her character Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson and Dornan as serial murderer Paul Spector.
Garrihy will play Lyndsey Conklin in the murder-drama series, written and directed by Allan Cubitt and produced by Julian Stevens and Gub Neal.
The Dublin actress, who left ‘Fair City’ last summer, has since been working in the Gate Theatre in the two-month sell-out adaption of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’, which is due to tour overseas, including a stopover at the 2015 Hong Kong Arts Festival.
Also joining ‘The Fall’ cast are fellow Irish actors Patrick Fitzsymons (Game of Thrones) who will play Jordan McConnell, a Detective Chief Inspector with the PSNI, Jonjo O’Neill (Doctor Who), Bronágh Taggart (London Irish), Tim Loane (Casualty) and Tara Lee, who plays Emma in RTE’s ‘Raw’.
Stateside, Anderson plays hostile CEO Meg Fitch on NBC’s action-packed hostage mystery ‘Crisis’ alongside Dermot Mulroney (The Grey), which has recently been acquired by TV3. ‘Crisis’ comes as part of a deal TV3 signed with Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution last year.
TV3 will bring the 13 hour-long episode series to Irish screens next month.
