Finding Joy premieres on RTÉ One
Make sure to catch the first episode of our hotly anticipated new series Finding Joy on RTÉ One, this Wednesday October 10th at 9:35pm. Finding Joy is written by , and stars, Amy Huberman as Joy, alongside Aisling Bea, Lochlann Ó Mearáin, Hannah James-Scott, Jenny Rainsford, and Paul Reid.
Joy is perfectly happy with her life. It’s neat and tidy and just how she likes it. Sure, her long-term boyfriend, Aidan, has left her, but Joy is fine with it. She’s certainly not suffering from heartbreak and stress-induced incontinence like canine Aidan. Things are totally fine the way they are… That is until Joy unwittingly lands herself a new job filling in for Ireland’s most-beloved vlogger, Flora the Happy Hunter. This unwanted promotion throws Joy firmly out of her OCD level of control and forces her to deal with a world she has put great effort into avoiding; one full of oversharing, boundary breaking, messy housemates, one-night stands, and full-contact wrestling; all in the name of learning about the crazy, uncomfortable and new-age methods people use to find… well joy.
