BLACK DONNELLYS IRISH CRIME DRAMA ON NBC

Got this email from someone at NBC. It’s about a new show. It’s going to go on after OTBKB fave Heroes. I guess it’s replacing Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (which we liked flaws and all).

Since your blog covers news and events in Brooklyn , I wanted to let you know about a new show called Black Donnellys that will be premiering Monday February 26 on NBC at 10 pm EST! You might have seen or heard about this show being filmed at locations around the city.

Black Donnellys is a crime drama set and filmed completely in New York City . It is the story of four Irish brothers and how their relationships are tested as they get more involved in the world of organized crime. The show is very reminiscent to a younger version of HBO’s hit show “Sopranos” with a camaraderie similar to the guys from HBO’s “Entourage.”

I noticed that you like the O.C., so wanted to share with you that Olivia Wilde who starred on the show as Alex Kelly (Marissa’s lover) also stars in Black Donnellys. Her character, Jenny Reilly, is the love interest of one of the Donnelly brothers.

The show was written and produced by Bobby Moresco and Paul Haggis, the award-winning team behind “Crash” and “Million Dolllar Baby”. The story was inspired by Bobby Moresco’s experiences growing up in Hell’s Kitchen.

  1. Hey NY,
    I watched the Black Donnelys on TIVO last night, and I was breathless waiting for more – more – more!
    The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, and the episode ended in a way you wouldn’t expect.
    Genius!

  2. Louise: Personally, I thought Studio 60 failed miserably to live up to its potential.
    I also must comment that I find NBC press relations out of place on your blog.
