RTÉ has finally confirmed that Hardy Bucks, the beloved Irish comedy series, will be returning for a new season.
"Audience favourite Hardy Bucks is coming soon to RTÉ with a new series, and Mayo might finally have won the All-Ireland, but not everyone is buzzing for life in Mayo in 2026.
"Now middle-aged, the Hardy Bucks gang aren't exactly living the life of craic they hoped. The price of creamy pints is still rising, and it’s no easier to find a gaff.
"But with some young bucks following in their footsteps, there's still shenanigans to be had in Castletown. " On Off the Ball last month, Colgan was asked how the Hardy Bucks boys would celebrate Mayo winning its first All-Ireland football title in 75 years, which had just happened at the time of the interview. He added:"Yeah, new one on the way, but this is not about us. It's about the Mayo team.
" The hosts were surprised by Colgan's announcement, asking:"Is that just because of the result on Sunday? " The actor then joked:"I went straight to the boys in RTÉ and I said: 'Give us another season. ' They're like: 'Yeah, no bother at all. '" Seeming to speak more seriously, he added:"We're making another season.
Six more episodes on the way. Filmed in a mockumentary style, Hardy Bucks followed a group of 20-something slacker lads - including Buzz, Eddie Durkan, and Viper Higgins - in Castletown, Co. Mayo and"their attempts to find the craic". Created in 2007, Hardy Bucks first aired as online webisodes. This was before it was picked up by RTÉ for several seasons.
