EXCLUSIVE: Paddy Macrae, the creator, showrunner and EP of Peacock series Irreverent, has inked with Rain for representation.

He continues to be repped by Talent Agent Literary firm RGM Artists and Gochman Law.

Irreverent dropped on Peacock in 2022 and followed a criminal from Chicago who must pose as a reverend in a small Australian coastal town to hide his true identity.

Macrae is currently in development on his original four-part drama series, The Wild, along with several other original projects.

He began his career in television as a full-time assistant to Tony Ayres in scripted development at Matchbox Pictures, working across projects including The Family Law (ABC Australia), Glitch (ABC Australia/Netflix), Seven Types of Ambiguity (ABC Australia), and Barracuda (ABC Australia/BBC). He script edited the second season of Wanted.

Said Macrae, “It’s such a joy to be teaming up with Rain Management with whom I feel a deeply shared passion for ambitious stories. Screen Australia’s Talent USA program allowed me to travel to meet with Rain and I feel so energized to get to work on this next international stage of my career.”
