Derry Girls' Lisa McGee on working with Paul Mescal on new thriller The Deceived

After her success with her hometown comedy, Lisa McGee teamed up with her husband to write a gothic thriller. The new show comes with the added bonus of Paul Mescal

Lisa McGee and her husband/co-writer Tobias Beer.

It’s a sign of the times that Lisa McGee and Tobias Beer, the husband and wife writing duo behind Virgin Media One’s new thriller The Deceived, are speaking to the Irish Examiner from their new home in Belfast.

The move away from London was prompted by a mix of their eldest child starting school, McGee returning to her Northern Irish roots, and critically, a pandemic that seems to have reduced the importance of London as their work hub.
