The Secrets She Keeps: RTE airing new drama as Normal People finishes

RTE will be airing a new drama in place of smash hit Normal People.

The Secrets She Keeps follows the lives of two very different women, one who appears to live the perfect life and the other who will do anything to copy it.

Similarly to Normal People, the series is based on a bestselling novel, this one written by Michael Robotham.

It's set in a rich Sydney suburb and begins when two women have a chance encounter in a supermarket

Agatha works there whilst Meghan is an online 'mummy blogger'.

The women are of the same age, both expecting a child and are both due to give birth at the same time.

Although they reside in the same area, they come from different worlds.

Agatha is a loner, struggling for money and sees her pregnancy as a miracle, having always wanted a child.

Meghan is a wealthy mother of two children who uses her blog to make her life look as perfect as possible.

Despite using her online presence to rave about her pregnancy to a dedicated following which includes Agatha, her perfect family life isn't what it seems.

Both women have secrets and go to great lengths to conceal them.

The show stars Laura Carmichael as Agatha and Jessica De Gouw as Meghan.

The six-part drama will begin on RTE One next Tuesday, 9th June.
