THE FLATSHARE: PARAMOUNT+ DRAMA COMES TO CHANNEL 5

Paramount+ original UK drama series Flatshare (6x45’), starring Jessica Brown Findlay and Anthony Welsh, comes to Channel 5 next month.

Based on the bestselling book by Beth O’Leary, Flatshare follows two cash-strapped twentysomethings, Tiffany and Leon, who share a bed. The catch is, Tiffany and Leon have never met and, if their plan works out, they never will.

With neither able to afford to rent their own flat, they decide to time-share a bed as Tiffany spends her days earning minimum wage for minimum appreciation at a clickbait news website and Leon works long night shifts in a hospice. As the Post-its start to fly, both get unexpectedly drawn into the other’s messy, complex lives, and an attraction evolves backwards.

Also joining the cast of Flatshare are Bart Edwards (The Witcher, State of Happiness, Unreal) as Tiffany’s ex-boyfriend Justin and Shaq B. Grant (The Box, Gangs of London) as Leon’s brother Richie. Shaniqua Okwok (It’s a Sin, Wolfe) and Jonah Hauer-King (World on Fire, The Little Mermaid) play Tiffany’s best friends Maia and Mo.

The Flatshare airs on Channel 5 this March.
