Studs Lonigan is a three-part American television miniseries produced by Lorimar Television for NBC, based on the 1932–35 novel trilogy by American author James T. Farrell. Each story is represented in 100-minute episodes: Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan, and Judgment Day. From 1918 and 1930, Irish-American Bill 'Studs' Lonigan comes of age in Chicago, Illinois, a city full of temptations.
Directed by James T. Farrell, Studs Lonigan leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Hamlin, Colleen Dewhurst, Brad Dourif — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
