Fleabag

The six-part series focuses on “a dry-witted, angry, cash-strapped, grief-riddled, porn-watching young woman trying to come to terms with a recent tragedy.” The show is written by and stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the comedy actress who created Channel 4’s Crashing. This new series will be an adaptation of her award-winning Edinburgh Fringe play which she performed at the festival in 2013 to critical acclaim. Fleabag is thrown roughly up against the walls of contemporary London, sleeping with anyone who dares to stand too close, squeezing money from wherever she can, rejecting anyone who tries to help her, and keeping up her bravado throughout.
