A New Lens on
Irish Stories

Developing and producing Irish stories built for the world's biggest screens — from romcom to mythic epic.

Our Slate About Us

Mission & Vision

Irish stories.
Global reach.

Two's Company Media develops and produces Irish stories that are bold, original, and built for global audiences — bringing the full range of Irish culture, history, humour, and mythology to screen with the ambition, craft, and commercial instincts they deserve.

We envision a world where Irish storytelling is as familiar to international audiences as Scandinavian noir or British prestige drama.

Values

Originality over formula

Every project begins with a question: what is the most compelling way to tell this particular Irish story to the widest possible audience?

Commercial craft

Great storytelling and commercial viability are not in tension. We build projects that are artistically ambitious and financially structured to succeed.

Irish to the bone, global in reach

Our stories are rooted in place, culture, and voice — but their themes are universal. Specificity is what makes stories travel.

Range

From romcom to mythic epic, we develop across the full spectrum of screen storytelling.

The Slate

Seven projects.
One vision.

A portfolio spanning immediate green-light candidates to a franchise-scale mythological universe — from a chipper in the Docks to the gods of ancient Ireland.

The Craic Pack characters

Tier I  ·  Series  ·  Immediate

The Craic Pack

Romcom SeriesTrinity College Dublin3 Seasons

"Bridesmaids meets Derry Girls meets Sex and the City — but Irish as f*ck."

Four women meet in their first week at Trinity College Dublin and forge a bond that will define their twenties. A drunken Freshers' Week pact — to each marry in Trinity Chapel within eight years — gives their intertwined love lives a deadline, a comic engine, and a ticking clock. Raucous, heartfelt, and deeply Irish.

"The greatest love stories are often our friendships." — Fade to Black. The Boys Are Back in Town blares.

The Docks

Tier I  ·  Series  ·  Immediate

The Docks

Mockumentary SeriesSilicon Docks3 Seasons

"Where Ireland's tech dreams go to die… with style, sarcasm, and curry chips."

The anti–Silicon Valley. A scrappy Dublin startup's only scalable asset is the banter. Their dashboard is an Excel sheet. Their IPO is a karaoke night. Their crypto play is wiring Evelyn's fryer to mine Bitcoin. Series A funding: promised next Friday for the last three years.

"We didn't change the world. But we made it laugh." — Aoife   "Idiots. But my idiots." — Evelyn.

Black Feather — world

Tier II  ·  Series  ·  Prestige  ·  Section 481

Black Feather

Historical EpicFive SeasonsSection 481

"Pirates of the Caribbean meets Braveheart."

Ireland, 1594. O'Neill, Red Hugh, and Grace O'Malley defy Elizabeth I across Ulster's bogs, Spain's courts, and Morocco's palaces. The story of Ireland's last great rebellion — a civilisation built on spoken law, extinguished by an empire of ink. Punk-trad soundtrack. A fire that never dies.

"They fled not as cowards, but as carriers of flame. The land fell silent, yet the song endures." — Bard-Narrator.

Black Irish — Phil Lynott

Black Irish / Old Town

Musical BiopicPhil LynottFeature Film

"A Black Irish poet teaches his city how to sing."

Two treatments in development. Black Irish: the mythic rise and aching fall — Crumlin to the world stage. Old Town: how Phil Lynott transformed Dublin into a global music capital, passing the torch from Lizzy to U2 and beyond.

"Dublin made me. I made Dublin sing."

The Irish
Cinematic Universe

"Before King Arthur. Before The Avengers.
There were the gods of Ireland."

Ireland  ·  March 2026  ·  The Moment

Ireland is the world's
hottest production hub.

This is not a pitch. It is the current state of the industry. In 2025 Ireland broke into ProdPro's global top five locations for studio budgeting. Production spending on major projects rose 42% while the US fell 20%. The creative screen industries are now a billion-euro industry. And the pipeline for 2026 is, as one leading production designer put it — "going gangbusters."

Two's Company Media is an Irish production company developing Irish stories at the precise moment international streamers and studios are most actively seeking Irish partnerships.

Market momentum

294 productions in Dublin alone in 2025. The industry barely breaks for Christmas. Studio space is at near-capacity during peak periods. Ireland has become the default choice for international productions seeking a stable, skilled, English-speaking base in Europe.

World-class crew

On a production of the scale of Wednesday (Netflix), all but one head of department was Irish. A decade ago it would have been half. Element Pictures — founded in Dublin in 2001 — has secured 30 Academy Award nominations and six wins. The talent pipeline is generational.

Political stability

Wednesday left Romania when a change of government withdrew the tax credit overnight. Ireland's Section 481 incentive has been consistent for decades and is actively managed by government to remain competitive. Stability is not a small thing — it is the foundation of long-term production relationships.

Global ambition

Screen Ireland operates a permanent office in Los Angeles, actively brokering relationships with studios, streamers, and global co-production partners. The Oscars, TIFF, Cannes, and Sundance are all platforms the Irish industry now occupies at the top table. The moment is now.

Funding Partners  ·  Ireland  ·  Northern Ireland  ·  Europe

Built into the
funding landscape.

Every project on our slate has been developed with the full Irish and Northern Irish funding ecosystem in mind. We are not retrofitting projects to fit funding criteria — we are building projects from the ground up that are structurally aligned with Screen Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen, and European co-production frameworks.

Screen Ireland has a permanent office in Los Angeles. Northern Ireland Screen has consistently backed prestige drama with cross-border and international ambition. Together with Section 481 and European co-production treaties, the Irish island offers one of the most complete and competitive production funding stacks in the world.

→

US Streamer Co-Productions

Ireland  ·  Section 481  ·  Co-Production

Built to be
bankable.

Every project is developed with the full Irish production incentive framework in mind. Section 481 — Ireland's film and television tax credit — sits at the foundation of how we structure projects for international co-production and streamer investment.

Section 481 Tax Credit

32%

of eligible Irish expenditure on qualifying projects — up to 40% for small and mid-budget productions — with eligible spend up to €125m — one of the most competitive screen production incentives in Europe.

Bank Cashflow Advance

80–90%

of the credit can be cashflowed during production — turning a future rebate into working capital before a single episode airs.

Maximum Eligible Spend

€70m

per project — covering everything from a Tier I series to the full ICU franchise. A new 40% VFX credit applies to productions spending at least €1m on visual effects (introduced 2025).

How the financing stack works

1

Section 481 Certification

Production company applies to Irish Revenue. Eligible spend covers Irish cast, crew, goods, services, and post-production.

2

Bank Cashflow

An Irish bank advances 80–90% of the confirmed credit during production, providing working capital against the guaranteed rebate.

3

Revenue Rebate

Irish Revenue pays the full 32% credit once audited accounts are submitted. The bank advance is repaid at no net cost.

4

Co-Production Stack

Section 481 anchors ~25% of the budget. The balance comes from streamer licences, broadcaster co-production, distributor MGs, and gap finance.

Example: €5m Budget — How It Stacks

Section 481 (32% of €4m eligible Irish spend)€1.28m
Streamer licence / pre-buy€2.0m
Broadcaster co-production€0.75m
Distributor minimum guarantee€0.5m
Private equity / gap finance€0.47m
Total Funded€5.0m

The Company
