An official release date for Brassic has not been confirmed by Sky One.
However, Sky has confirmed it will be 2019 and it is very likely that it will premiere closer to summer.
Filming only began in September 2018 and wrapped up at the end of last year.
I don't mind an attention baiting headline, as long as it delivers - sadly this one doesn't. But it is good to see more Brassic buzz in the mainstream press!
Here is another mention of a summer air date for Brassic, from the Daily Mail Weekend Magazine (no I don't buy it, didn't buy it and this is from pressreader). We ought to take this with a pinch of salt, could be more speculation than official at this stage!

"Elsewhere, Irish actor Damien Molony talked the audience through his new gritty comedy-drama Brassic, where he'll play a leading role alongside Michelle Keegan and Joe Gilgun (of This Is England fame)."
A couple of cool tidbits from Damien at today's Sky content event, via Her.ie (including about a sex scene!)
"Dylan is the brains of the gang so he's kind-of smart enough to see the flaws in all their crazy money-making schemes. And you know, the great tragedy for Dylan really is because he is the brightest of the bunch, he doesn't really have any ambition to do anything with his intelligence".
"Damien stars closely alongside Michelle Keegan, who plays Erin in this series, revealing that the had to film a sex scene on their very first day, Damien nodded that it's never easy to act out even when it's alongside Michelle Keegan (who he also noted is an infectious presence of laughter to be around)."

Damien Molony has told how he had to film a raunchy sex scene in a portaloo with Michelle Keegan just hours after meeting her for the first time.
The pair star in edgy new comedy Brassic which is set to land on Sky One this autumn.
Molony, 34, revealed he rang his mum and told her about his steamy scenes with the former Coronation Street star.
The Kildare actor, who is best known for his role as DC Albert Flight in BBC’s Ripper Street, said: “I used to ring my mum in the trailer and she asked, ‘What are you doing today?’
“I had to say, ‘It’s day one and I’ve never met this girl before and I have to get into a f*****g portaloo with her and have sex.”

In the extract below the highlighted line stands out - more on the portaloo scene and... THEY HAVE SEEN IT?!!! OH so lucky! There must have been some footage at the showcase on Tuesday!
Friends since a very young age, Damien Molony (Ripper Street) plays Dylan, who is best friends with Vinnie, played by Joe Gilgun (This is England), who has bipolar disorder. The lads and their friends have dealt, bribed, scammed and conned their way through adolescence but as adulthood approaches, their dealing and stealing is beginning to catch up with them and a whole load of trouble is heading their way.
That trouble includes Dylan's new love interest, Erin, who is played by Michelle Keegan (Our Girl) and the pair also engage in an awkward but hilarious portaloo sex scene, which, having seen it, JOE can testify that it's something viewers won't forget in a hurry.
Lol Ellie! For me enthusiasm never wains, even if Damien is not actually on the screen or stage there is still plenty to fangirl over, so I never understand why the forum would ever be totally quiet! But bring it on I say!
So, everyone is being very quiet about this portaloo sex scene! I mean! for me the premise alone makes me giggle, and the whole thing is going to be utterly hilarious! Can you imagine though this being the scene you have to film first, with someone you have only just met? You'd totally have to bring your A game!
Damien attending the Sky launch was the highlight of the week for me, all the lovely photos, the new info revealed and also seeing Damien in the spotlight as the only 'Brassic' cast member promoting the show at this event!
how about you guys? Lots of people are checking out this topic, it would be really awesome to hear from you all!
