First look photos for The Flatshare from Paramount+
The Flatshare will debut on Paramount+ later this year, and first look photography for the romantic comedy series have now been released.
Adapted from a best-selling book by Beth O'Leary, the six-part comedy stars Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey, This Beautiful Fantastic) and Anthony Welsh (Brassic, Pure).
They play Tiffany and Leon, two cash-strapped London twenty-somethings who share a bed. The catch is - Tiffany and Leon have never met and, if their plan works out, they never will.
Recovering from a controlling relationship, Tiffany spends her days earning minimum wage for minimum appreciation on a viral news website, while Leon works nightshifts in a hospice getting life advice from a terminally ill tween 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?
Jessica Brown Findlay says: "Working on The Flatshare, bringing Tiff and Leon to rom-com life alongside the BRILLIANT Anthony Welsh was a dream come true. We can't wait for you all to get a set of keys cut and come join us!"
Anthony Welsh adds: "I had so much fun making The Flatshare and working with Jessie was a dream. We had such a great cast and crew bringing this world to life and I'm looking forward to sharing our flat with everyone."
The first British comedy from the new streaming service, it also stars Bart Edwards as Tiffany's ex-boyfriend Justin; Shaq B. Grant as Leon's brother, Richie; Shaniqua Okwok and Jonah Hauer-King as Tiffany's best friends, Maia and Mo, and Klariza Clayton as Leon's girlfriend, Kay. Gina Bramhill plays Tiffany's co-worker, Rachel.
Rose Lewenstein was lead writer, with Peter Cattaneo as lead director.
