In an interview with Digital Trends, the cast and executive producers of Peacock's Irreverent discuss the authentic portrayal of contemporary Australian life.

In Irreverent, Paulo Keegan is on the run. As a criminal mediator for the mob in Chicago, Paulo kills a member of the mafia, forcing him to flee the country. At a bar, he meets Reverend Mackenzie Boyd , a clergyman who recently learned about his wife’s plans to divorce him. After their chance encounter, Keegan finds a way to hide by impersonating the reverend in a tiny beach town in Queensland, Australia.

I was brought up in a world where the community came first, people came first, and our house was basically the town hall. Anyone could walk in. Everyone had keys to the house, which my mom hated, but it was the truth. People would come in with their problems, victories, celebrations, and losses. It was a bit like a sitcom set in a house.

I like how the lines are blurred with these characters, as you don’t know if they’re good or bad. I don’t think Mackenzie is bad, but he’s done some questionable things. When you were reading the script, what stood out about Mackenzie? Kylie Bracknell: I think she’s regrouping deep in her soul, actually. She’s connecting to family again and her high school sweetheart, Aidan. But she slipped back into something that’s quite complacent, and I don’t think it’s quite comfortable for her because she’s not a complacent person by any means. She set out to be highly successful in her career, which is being a cop or detective, so she’s not going to let that slide.

These two characters, the way they’re working, he’s got to teach me to be more of a man on some level, and I’m going to teach him on some level to have more of a heart. But really, you’re going to find out that they existed in each other on their own if you will. We’re gonna grow together and find the goodness ideally in each other.Debbie Lee: Look, when we went through that casting process, as it was a very long process, both Colin and P.J.

Bracknell: Did I have any conversations with Paddy Macrae? I don’t think there was any stone left unturned. We talked about everything. So many things when it came to Piper. He’s been sitting with this for over a decade. It’s his baby. Thank goodness he did. Apparently, Piper started out in a couple of different career titles. I think at one point, Piper was going to be a lawyer, so still involved with the law somehow. But yes, we had numerous conversations about Piper.

It’s always a challenge when you’re dealing with networks and buyers and talent and directors. All of the various people come into a show, and they’re all bringing different perspectives. It’s corralling all of those different views and trying to keep a straight line through the show that you’re setting out to make while juggling all of those different opinions.
