Netflix’s Irish period thriller “Bad Bridgets” is assembling a larger cast ahead of production. The film, directed by “Kneecap” filmmaker Rich Peppiatt, is set to begin filming in Northern Ireland in July, according to reports from multiple outlets.
The previously announced leads Emilia Jones and Alison Oliver are joined by an ensemble that includes Colin Farrell, Steve Coogan, Charlie Heaton, and Domhnall Gleeson. Deadline also reports the addition of Himesh Patel, Niamh Algar, and Simone Kirby, while other coverage lists similar star additions alongside the same two leads.
The project is described as an Irish revenge story with period elements and is inspired by a history book about Irish women emigrants. Across the sources, the key details align on the director, the Netflix backing, the planned July start in Northern Ireland, the pairing of Emilia Jones and Alison Oliver as the core leads, and the broader ensemble cast that includes the high-profile names above.
