Boyle is set to lead the cast as Sean, a young man who returns to his home of Belfast after university and is sucked back into old habits. As per the synopsis: "Back on the mad all-nighters, the borrowed tenners and missing rent, the casual jobs that always fall through.
The series has been described as revelling "in the reckless decadence of youth and celebrates a generation growing up in the wake of the troubles", adding that it's "a striking tale of love, trauma and finding your place in the scarred city you call home."
Code of Silence's Diarmuid Goggins will be taking over directing duties for the series, which is also being produced by the multi award-winning company Element Pictures, who have helped bring us the likes of Pillion, Bugonia and Normal People.
As for the cast, Boyle has recently starred in Steven Knight's Netflix drama, House of Guinness, but is also known for his roles in Say Nothing, Apple TV's Masters of the Air and Manhunt, as well as Disney+'s Shardlake.
O'Hara will be starring in Close to Home as Anthony, Sean's brother, but has appeared in some of the same shows as Boyle like Say Nothing and House of Guinness. O'Hara is also known for his roles in Blue Lights.
Commenting on the announcement of the series, Gemma Boswell, commissioner editor for Channel 4, says: "It is a privilege to bring Mick’s award-winning novel to Channel 4. Close To Home explores the emotionally rich landscape of West Belfast through the eyes of Sean, played by the fantastic Anthony Boyle. We’re delighted to showcase Mick’s beautiful writing with this timely and evocative story of a young generation finding their place in the world."
"Together with the indomitable Anthony Boyle and our incredible partners at Channel 4, Fremantle, NI Screen, and Screen Ireland, we are set to deliver a piece of television that is as dynamic, loud, and uncompromising as the city itself."
