Football Families (2025- )

RunningDocumentary showSports

This July, RTÉ presents Football Families, a three-part documentary series featuring Shelbourne Football club's most promising young talent from across the country as they strive to make it as professional footballers.

The series offers unique behind-the-scenes access to Shelbourne F.C., filmed during their historic 2024 season under manager Damien Duff. For Shelbourne fans, 2024 was the stuff of dreams, with both the men and women's senior teams winning titles, and the underage squads making a big impact throughout the elite development leagues.

Each episode of Football Families tells the stories of different young players and their families, whose lives revolve around football. These teenagers are committed to achieving their dreams in the face of extreme pressure, injuries, and setbacks.

The series follows them as they endeavour to make the big step up to the league champion squad in the dog-eat-dog world of professional football. The chances of making it are slim.

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
