Acting talent in the South East will be given a chance to shine in a new six-part BBC drama series which will be filmed in Dunmore East in Waterford this summer.
Redwater is a spin-off of Eastenders, and will see popular characters Kat and Alfie Moon leaving Walford to start a new life in Ireland. The couple will head to the South East to search for answers to some very big questions.
Speaking of their new drama, Shane Richie said: “Both Jessie and I are absolutely thrilled to be given this amazing opportunity. To have a whole drama focused around Kat and Alfie is a huge honour for us both and we just can’t wait to start filming.”
Jessie Wallace added: “I have always loved working on EastEnders so when I heard of this new drama to take Kat and Alfie outside of Walford, I couldn’t believe our luck. To be exploring the next chapter for Kat as well as working alongside my best mate, Shane, is a dream come true and a huge compliment.”
Filming of the series will take place in Dunmore East in May & June and open auditions will be held this coming weekend. Redwater Productions are looking for men, women and children of all ages for the drama. The open castings will take place at the Waterford Harbour Sailing Club in Dunmore East this Friday between 4pm and 8pm; and at Central Arts on The Quay in Waterford this Saturday from 12 noon until 7pm.
