A year of 30s for the world of soap continues, Rownd a Rownd marked 30 years yesterday (11th September), Hollyoaks celebrates their 30th anniversary in October, and another iconic soap is celebrating the big 30, with Ros na Rún about to kick off their 30th season (16th September on TG4).
The Irish Language Broadcaster TG4 has annouced a new digital first release for fans of Ros na Rún. Beginning 16 September 2025, each new episode of the milestone 30th season will be available to stream on the TG4 Player (TG4.ie) every Monday and Wednesday giving audiences the chance to watch one day ahead of the TG4 broadcast at 20:30. This digital-first approach marks an exciting step forward in expanding and deepening Ros na Rún’s already strong worldwide audience.
Speaking about the changes to the new format for TG4, Director General of TG4 Deirdre Ní Choistín commented ‘We are delighted to mark the 30th season of Ros na Rún, strengthening our TG4 Gach Áit strategy by dropping episodes on the TG4 Player ahead of television broadcast. This change reflects TG4’s ambition to provide more platform-neutral content to satisfy our audiences who enjoy content on demand.‘
‘Ros na Rún is central to TG4’s programming and has played a vital role in connecting viewers with contemporary Irish language storytelling for three decades. We are proud to continue building on that legacy while embracing the digital future.‘
Since first airing in 1996, Ros na Rún has grown into one of Ireland’s most enduring and beloved dramas, tackling difficult issues with honesty while also delivering warmth, humour, and entertainment. With early access now available on the TG4 Player, the series is poised to continue expanding its reach, satisfying longtime fans and attracting new viewers at home and abroad.
