BBC One is to broadcast Cheaters, an eighteen-episode comedy drama, told in ten-minute chapters, about a man and woman who sleep together despite both having partners.
Susan Wokoma and Joshua McGuire star in the lead roles, playing characters Fola and Josh.
The plot is described as follows: "Cheaters tells the story of a chance meeting after a cancelled flight that leads to an unlikely night of drunken airport-hotel sex between two strangers in their late twenties, Fola and Josh. The next morning, as they rush to make the rescheduled flight, both admit they are with other people - Fola is married to Zack, and Josh is in a long term relationship with Esther.
"After arguing at the airport and ignoring each other on the plane, they finally agree their night of passion was a mistake and go their separate ways. But as Josh gets off at the bus stop next to his flat, he's horrified to see Fola pulling up in a taxi across the road and heading into the house she has just bought. Josh and Fola are going to be neighbours. And to make life more complicated, Esther and Zack are keen to be friends."
Callie Cooke plays Esther and Jack Fox plays the role of Zack. Further cast includes Andrea Valls, Shiloh Coke and Jay Lycurgo.
The series is written and created by breakout writer Oliver Lyttelton (The Listener), directed by Elliot Hegarty (Ted Lasso, Lovesick) and produced by Alex Walsh-Taylor (In The Long Run, Lovesick). It's produced by The End Of The F***ing World and Misfits production company Clerkenwell Films.
Cheaters starts on Tuesday 8th February at 9.45pm on BBC One, and all episodes will be available as a boxset on BBC iPlayer.
