Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement Star in New Disney+ British Comedy
Filming has begun on a new British comedy series called “Alice and Steve,” set to premiere on Disney+. The show is produced by Clerkenwell Films, written by Sophie Goodhart, and directed by Tom Kingsley.
The series stars Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement in the lead roles of Alice and Steve. The story follows lifelong best friends whose world is turned upside down when middle-aged Steve begins dating Alice’s twenty-six-year-old daughter Izzy, played by Yali Topol Margalith. Chaos ensues as their friendship is tested like never before, impacting their families and futures.
The cast also includes Joel Fry as Alice’s husband Daniel, Tyrese Eaton-Dyce as her son Dom, and Marcia Warren as Alice’s mother Val. The series promises to be emotional, messy, and hilariously absurd, offering a sophisticated take on the classic anti-romantic comedy.
Director Tom Kingsley, known for his work on “Stath Lets Flats,” is at the helm of the six-episode series. The show is written and executive produced by Sophie Goodhart, with Petra Fried, Andy Baker, and Ed Macdonald serving as Executive Producers for Clerkenwell Films.
Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement expressed their excitement about working on the series, praising the unique storyline and well-developed characters. Disney+ executive Lee Mason highlighted the riveting mix of betrayal and revenge in the show, calling it a twisted and hilarious story that will captivate audiences.
