Life Actually: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Another new Irish format Life Actually follows eight young Irish couples over the course of a year as they navigate the real-life highs and lows of the modern day ‘happily ever after'. From planning a family and buying a house to life-changing diagnoses and walking down the aisle, this six-part series provides a raw look inside the lives of Ireland's twenty, thirty and forty-somethings. Nothing was off limits for our couples, and we explore just how relatable their lives are through a national survey examining the habits and attitudes of couples in Ireland. Be prepared for a roller-coaster of emotions, from desperation to utter joy because life actually ain't no rom-com.
