Winner of the Best Irish Film at the prestigious Galway Film Fleadh in 2016, where The Young Offenders had its World Premiere, the film has screened at film festivals across the world to audience acclaim. It continues to be a popular Netflix selection internationally.

The success of The Young Offenders continued, with a television show being commissioned by the BBC in association with RTÉ. Since 2017 there have been four successful series created by Peter Foott, which has since been commissioned for a fifth series.

Castlecove Pictures currently has a number of projects in development with broadcasters and studios across a variety of genres, showcasing the breadth of experience and creative approaches that the company can bring to projects across the board.
