JUST DAYS after the eagerly awaited comedy ‘Moone Boy’ premiered on Sky 1, the cast and crew of the Boyle-featured series were back in town to film the second series of the show!

With the Irish Times giving the comedy, co-written by Boyle actor and Hollywood star Chris O’Dowd, four out of five stars, there was an air of excitement as filming commenced yesterday (Monday) close to the Bailey Bridge.

Cast and crew will continue filming around Lough Key this week and part of next week’s filming will be a St. Patrick’s Day parade in the town centre on Tuesday, September 25th.

The town of Boyle featured in a number of episodes in the first series of the show. Chris said at the time that if a second series were commissioned, he would insist that even more time was spent filming in his hometown. It is expected that filming will be completed on Friday, September 29th.
