It\u2019s a tale as old as time \u2014 or in the PBS drama Trespasses<\/em><\/a>, as old as the 1970s.<\/p>\n Furious<\/em><\/a>\u2018 breakout actress Lola Petticrew<\/strong> stars as Cushla Lavery, a young Catholic schoolteacher who falls for the older barrister Michael Agnew (House of the Dragon<\/em><\/a>\u2018s Tom Cullen<\/strong>). Their age gap isn\u2019t so much an issue as the fact that Cushla is Catholic and Michael is a Protestant, which is a big no-no during that time and place. Oh, did I mention that Tom is also married?<\/p>\n Based on Louise Kennedy<\/strong>\u2019s critically acclaimed debut novel, Trespasses<\/em> weaves an irresistible narrative that mixes history, politics and, yes, forbidden love. The four-episode drama is one of 2026\u2019s best shows, and that\u2019s just based on the two episodes that have already aired. Episode 3 is dropping this Sunday, October 4, and Us Weekly<\/em> has an exclusive sneak peek of the next chapter in this engrossing drama below.<\/p>\n
