Hardy Bucks

When HARDY BUCKS won StoryLand, RTÉ’s drama competition, the web series became an online phenomenon, with three million hits, and a word-of-mouth sensation. This autumn, RTÉ Two is delighted to bring the online adventures of Eddie Durkan and co. to a new and wider audience in a three-part Hardy Bucks serial. Filmed in Swinford, Co Mayo, Hardy Bucks follows the lives of four likeable lads from the fictional Castletown.

Hardy Bucks explores life in small town Ireland for a group of 20 something slacker lads and their attempts to find the ‘craic’, wherever that may be. Despite the economic downturn, life in Castletown hasn’t changed much for Eddie. When things start to go belly-up, his friends Buzz, French Toast and Boo are there to give him advice and help him find his mojo despite local drug dealer The Viper always trying to get one over on him.

Written by and starring Martin Moloney as Eddie Durkan and Chris Tordoff as ‘The Viper’, Hardy Bucks also features Peter Cassidy and Owen Colgan, plus a cast of extras from Swinford and beyond.
