Acclaimed Director Rich Peppiatt Announces Thrilling New Film 'Bad Bridgets'

In November 2025, acclaimed director Rich Peppiatt is gearing up to helm his next big project, the upcoming thriller film 'Bad Bridgets'. The film, which is highly anticipated in the film community, will feature a star-studded cast, with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Emilia Jones taking on the lead roles.

'Bad Bridgets' is described as an upcoming period piece that will follow the story of an Irish woman who sets off on a harrowing journey from Ireland, which is suffering from famine and drought, to 19th-century New York. The film is directly inspired by the award-winning book 'Bad Bridget: Crime, Mayhem, and the Lives of Irish Emigrant Women', written by authors Elaine Farrell and Leanne McCormick. The book explores the lives of a group of Irish women emigrants who were shunned from society and were known as the troublemakers of their time.

Filming for 'Bad Bridgets' is set to begin in spring 2026 in Northern Ireland and Ireland. While the exact premise of the film is still under wraps, the story is expected to delve into the untold narratives of these Irish emigrant women and their struggles in a society that deemed them as delinquents.
