Romesh Ranganathan and Katherine Ryan will star as a baby crazy couple in a new IVF heist dramedy for Sky.

Over six parts, Romantic Getaway will follow Alison (Ryan) and Deacon's (Ranganathan) desperate attempts to conceive. After countless IVF failures, they begin to wrestle with the idea that it might not happen.

But when they run out of money to afford more rounds, and the pressure mounts on their relationship, they resort to stealing.

The series kicks off just as Deacon and Alison have defrauded their dodgy boss Alfie (Johnny Vegas) of £500,000. The couple are sat in their car, buzzing with adrenaline. But after they come down from the thrill, they not only have to grapple with the gruelling process of IVF, but also to figure out how to use the money without getting caught.

The challenge draws them deep into the criminal underbelly of Reading.

Ranganathan and Benjamin Green wrote and created the series, with additional writers Sarah Morgan and Elaine Gracie. Shaun Wilson directed and Caroline Norris produced.

Romantic Getaway will air on Sky Max and NOW on 1 January 2023.
