BBC One announces a new comedy thriller created, written by and starring Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli.

The six-part drama focuses on the budding friendship between Nic (Daisy May Cooper) and Jen (Selin Hizli).

When Jen blows into town with her young son Harry, she shakes up Nic’s lonely life, adding fun, laughter and booze, with Nic’s son Ollie also bonding with Harry.

The twisted comedy thriller looks at marital angst, maternal paranoia and features a dead cat.

Viewers will get to see female friendship at its naughtiest and most intoxicating...until it all starts to unravel.

The Boffola Pictures and Lookout Point co-production will be executive produced by Jack Thorne and directed by Jonny Campbell. 

Daisy May Cooper commented: “So excited to be writing this with my best friend and the funniest person I know on a subject that I think sums us up perfectly…. toxic friendship.”

Selin Hizli said: “Everything about creating this show has been a dream come true. Jack Thorne, Lookout Point and Boffola Pictures have been incredible. 

“I can’t wait to bring this dark, funny world to life with Jonny Campbell and I’m so thrilled it has found its home at the BBC. Now I just have to put up with Daisy for a bit longer while we film it…”
