Stardust is a major three-part documentary series which will provide a 360-degree perspective on the Stardust tragedy, while Patrick: A Young Traveller Lost shines a light on the urgent and sensitive issue of suicide rates among the Irish Traveller community through the harrowing story of 12-year-old Patrick McDonagh. Since 1996, 261 women have died violently in the Republic of Ireland, according to Women's Aid. In a new series of Dr Cassidy's Casebook The Femicide Cases, former State Pathologist, Dr Marie Cassidy explores the issue of femicide in Ireland through the lens of some of the cases she investigated during her career. In Richie Sadlier Let's Talk About Sex, Richie Sadlier explores Ireland's sex education history through the eyes and ears of transition year students.
Climate takes centre stage with insightful new programmes including, Climate Live 2050. From the makers of Election '18, this ambitious special imagines how the news might be in the year 2050 with presenters Mark Little and Carla O'Brien guiding viewers through a seismic night as the climate pushes the planet to a moment of crisis. Six-part series Heated takes a factual look at the implications of climate change for individuals, families, communities, and industry in Ireland. In A Climate of Change, Philip Boucher-Hayes journeys to examine the effect of climate change across continents and assess the implications it will have in Ireland. As part of RT 's commitment to leading on Climate Change coverage, RT News & Current Affairs is embedding reporting of the climate crisis across all topics and areas as it affects all our lives, including a continued special focus on biodiversity.
In November, RT will screen Face Down, a documentary sprung from RT 's hugely successful radio series RT Documentary on One, it focuses on the 1973 kidnapping by the IRA of German businessman, Thomas Niedermayer. Funded by RT , ARTE, Screen Ireland and BBC Northern Ireland, and with the support of Section 481 funding, this feature documentary is currently playing in cinemas in Ireland. RT Radio 1's RT Documentary on One continues to go from strength to strength and offers a new season of stories of music, adventure, Irish civil war history, and Mount Everest. Acclaimed social history series Scannal looks back at the stories that shocked and shaped us as a nation including the disappearance in 1977 of six-year-old Mary Boyle.
Drama
RT has significantly increased its drama output over the last four years; from 9 hours in 2019 to 43.5 hours in 2023, RT continues to deliver more quality Irish drama to audiences. There's an abundance of brand-new Irish drama hitting screens this new season, featuring a wealth of emerging and established Irish talent, filmed throughout Ireland in locations from Donegal to Killaloe, Limerick to Dublin supporting local economies throughout Ireland. RT has worked with Irish partners including Screen Ireland and international partners, to bring more Irish stories to Irish screens and showcase Irish talent internationally.

Previous Storyland winners have gone on to write for Hidden Assets and Smother.
