Hopley Hall

Hopley Hall is a six-part sitcom currently filming in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Created and written by Daniel Peak (Not Going Out, Code 404), the series stars James Nesbitt and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as part of an ensemble cast that includes Georgie Glen from Call the Midwife. The workplace comedy centers on a fictional Grade A listed stately home on the Co Antrim coast where the heating rarely works, the history is questionable, and the gift shop is mostly stocked with tea towels. The show follows a newly appointed community engagement officer struggling to deal with actual people, an over-enthusiastic guide with little sense of irony, and a disgruntled gardener, alongside the rest of the dysfunctional team. Production is being handled by Nice One Productions and Birdie Pictures, backed by STUDIOCANAL, with support from Northern Ireland Screen. Tom Marshall directs all six 30-minute episodes, with additional writing material from Northern Irish comedy writers including Oisin Kearney, Michael McCullagh, Shannon Welby, and others. The series is expected to air on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Northern Ireland in 2027.
