The comedy, set in an STI clinic, screened on 9GO in 2019. It picks up Australian rights while OUTtv are taking rights in Canada, South Africa and New Zealand.

Produced by Humdrum Comedy and Nottingham Pictures the series was created by Henry Boffin, Nicholas Kraak and Riley Nottingham and is described as the first Australian sitcom with all LGBTI lead characters.

Filmed in mockumentary style, it follows the lives of doctors Stephanie Huddleston (Geraldine Hickey) and Langdon Marsh (Riley Nottingham), who work at Metropolitan Sexual Health. They are joined by Ryan Shelton, Shabana Azeez, Urvi Majumdar and Rebecca Massey, with more cast soon to be announced.

Riley Nottingham  said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to expand the world of Metro Sexual to a half hour sitcom, and excited to keep working with our partners at Nine and OutTV. During the times we all find ourselves in, we hope Metro Sexual can be an uplifting and heartfelt comedy experience for everyone.”

Geraldine Hickey added, “I’m so excited to be back doing Metro Sexual. Last season I learnt how to use a Duckbill Speculum so I can’t wait to see what’s in store for season two.”
