Deadline has the report about this new series development effort. The film drew directly from the Sheridan family’s own experience as Irish immigrants building a new life in a Hell’s Kitchen apartment, at a time when the neighborhood truly earned its name. This series will explore similar territory, and Deadline reports,
From Academy Awad Nominee Jim Sheridan comes this deeply personal and poignant tale of a poor Irish family searching for a better life In America. Through the eyes of their spunky daughters, two anguished parents find hope and the ability to once again believe in love and magic…even amidst the dangers of New York’s harrowing Hell’s Kitchen.
