Streaming giant Paramount+ has released its new romcom series The Flatshare, which was filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios and across Bristol, assisted by the city’s Film Office earlier this year.
The Flatshare is a brand new six-part romantic comedy series with a twist. It is adapted from Beth O’Leary’s global bestseller. Jessica Brown Findlay and Anthony Welsh star as 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.
Newly dumped by her controlling ex, Tiffany spends her days earning minimum wage for minimum appreciation on a clickbait website, while Leon works nightshifts in a hospice getting life advice from a terminally ill teen 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?
