Irish actress Jessie Buckley 'felt very emotionally involved' filming Chernobyl series

HBO and Sky 's co-production 'Chernobyl', based on the true-life accident that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1986, will air next week.

Thirty years after the Chernobyl tragedy that claimed between 4,000 to 93,000 deaths and displaced approximately 300,000 people, HBO and Sky's co-production 'Chernobyl', based on the true-life events that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1986, will air next week.

The series will cover a number of stories, from the doctors who were working in Pripyat at the night of the explosion, to the workers in the plant, to the firefighters responding to the scene, to a government official, to a scientist risking her life by being around the reactor, and indeed, by challenging the State.
