Patrick Kielty is kicking off his third season of the talk show in style.

The Late Late Show returns tomorrow (Friday, 12 September) and is launching its new season with a pretty incredible line-up.

This is as host Patrick Kielty will be joined by Hollywood royalty for his third season as the programme's presenter.

He will be joined by Oscar-nominees Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Margot Robbie (I, Tonya), who will discuss their upcoming romantic fantasy film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.

The pair will share stories from set and their experience of working together for the first time.

Ahead of the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles this weekend, Farrell will also chat about his nomination for The Penguin, while Robbie will reflect on the global success of Barbie.

Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, will join Kielty as well to discuss urgent global issues, including the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

She will share insights from her recent visit to the Gaza border and speak about the role of international leadership in what the UN World Health Organisation has declared a man-made famine.

Following his decision not to pursue the Irish Presidency, Michael Flatley will be on the programme to reflect on his decision and the reasons behind it.

He’ll also speak about his personal journey with cancer and his involvement with a new exhibition by Breakthrough Cancer Research.

Irish rugby legend Conor Murray will also speak to Kielty about his new autobiography, Cloud Nine.

He will reflect on a decorated career in Irish rugby and share stories from the dressing room. He will also discuss how he found the strength to continue playing in the days after a road traffic collision left his father seriously injured.

Late Late Show viewers will be treated as well to a special performance from Kodaline’s Steve Garrigan.

The Late Late Show airs on RTÉ 1 on Friday at 9.35 pm.
