To those looking for a fresh beginning, starting your life over in a tiny town in a different country may sound ideal. However, picking up your life and moving across the world to escape a mess you’ve created and fabricating a new identity is an entirely different story.
Such is the premise of Peacock’s new original series Irreverent.
The 10-episode crime drama follows a criminal mediator from Chicago named Paulo Keegan, who is skilled at keeping the peace between the city’s organized crime families. However, when a situation goes awry, he is is forced to flee from everything he knows and hide out in a small Australian reef community in Far North Queensland posing as the new church Reverend. Keegan is going to need all his considerable street smarts to pull off posing as clergy – something he doesn’t know the first thing about. If he slips up, it’s game over.
Starring Colin Donnell, PJ Byrne, and Kylie Bracknell, Irreverent is now available to stream.
Ahead of the premiere, Instinct caught up with the trio, as well as creator/showrunner Paddy Macrae and executive producers Debbie Lee and Alastair McKinnon, to talk more about the show’s characters, humor, and dynamic storytelling. Check out the exclusive interviews below.
