Declan Lowney, a renowned Irish director, has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry through his work on the global hit series TED LASSO. With a career spanning over two decades, Declan has directed eight episodes of the show and served as a supervising producer for all 12 episodes of Season 2.
His experience working on TED LASSO has been a life-changing experience, and he has developed a strong working relationship with Jason Sudeikis, who entrusted him to helm the epic Season 3 finale. Declan's direction earned him a nomination for an Outstanding Directing Emmy and a first-time nomination for the Directors Guild of America Award.
Before TED LASSO, Declan was a successful film and television director, known for his work on cult hit Father Ted, as well as comedy juggernauts Little Britain and Cold Feet. He has been a six-time BAFTA nominee and a two-time BAFTA winner for Comedy Direction.
Declan's directing style is characterized by a light comic touch and warm, sparkling performances that capture the emotional beats of a story while keeping it funny. He has also had a parallel career in advertising, directing high-end comedy and celebrity-performance commercials.
One of his most notable campaigns is the Warburtons bread campaign in the UK, which has featured performances from Sylvester Stallone, The Muppets, and Robert De Niro. The Guardian newspaper praised De Niro's performance as his "best work in living memory."
Declan has also worked on the dark, edgy comedy SisterS, which premiered on AMC last year. He executive produced and directed the show, starring Sarah Goldberg. Additionally, he directed the Season 2 two-part finale of Apple's THE BIG DOOR PRIZE, starring Chris O'Dowd, and the Season 1 two-part finale.
