This Country’s Daisy May CooperCooper has joined forces with Mum actor Selin Hizli to create and star in a new comedy thriller for BBC One.
The pair play best friends in the six-part series, which is yet to be named and described as a “twisted comedy thriller about two mums, marital angst, maternal paranoia and a dead cat”.
Cooper said: “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.”
Hizli said: “Everything about creating this show has been a dream come true. I can’t wait to bring this dark, funny world to life. Now I just have to put up with Daisy for a bit longer while we film it…”
Executive producer Jack Thorne said: “Working with Selin and Daisy on this has been a joy. The way they’ve managed to balance joy and truth, funny and real, it’s been a brilliant education for me as a writer. And the less said about that dead cat the better.”
Filming will take place in Bristol and parts of the West Country this autumn.
