Airdate: The Flatshare

UK romantic comedy series The Flatshare, adapted from a novel by Beth O’Leary, will screen on 10 this week.

The six-part series sees Jessica Brown Findlay (Brave New World, Harlots) and Anthony Welsh (Master of None, The Great) star as Tiffany and Leon, two cash-strapped London twentysomethings who share a bed.

The catch is – Tiffany and Leon have never met and, if their plan works out, they never will. Newly dumped by her controlling ex, Tiffany spends her days earning minimum wage for minimum appreciation on a clickbait website, while Leon works nightshifts in a hospice getting life advice from a terminally ill teen as he tries to free his wrongfully jailed brother. But, as the post-it notes start to fly and each gets unexpectedly drawn into the other’s messy, complex life, an attraction evolves backwards.

The question is – can you really fall in love with a person you’ve never set eyes on?

The series stars Bart Edwards as Tiffany’s ex-boyfriend Justin and Shaq B. Grant as Leon’s brother Richie. Shaniqua Okwok and Jonah Hauer-King play Tiffany’s best friends Maia and Mo. Klariza Clayton plays Leon’s girlfriend Kay and Gina Bramhill plays Tiffany’s co-worker Rachel.

7.30pm Friday, 2 December on 10 a day after its debut on Paramount+
