The eight-part series stars Merchant (The Office, Life’s Too Short) as a gawky Englishman searching for the woman of his dreams in Los Angeles. Half as charming – and twice as desperate – as he thinks he is, he’s obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people, who won’t let him in.

Hello Ladies begins in the US on HBO in September.
