E4 orders new sitcom ‘Drifters’

Posted Filed under

Written by and starring Jessica Knappett, Drifters will follow three twenty-something young women experiencing their first slice of the real world post University.

The official synopsis reads: “Not fully paid up career women, Meg (Knappett), Bunny and Laura take on a series of menial jobs in their home town of Leeds that allow them to cling to the last vestiges of girlhood – that stage where everything is terrifying and exciting in equal measure. It’s all about the fear that comes with knowing you should take more responsibility and the excitement that comes with knowing you still don’t really have any at all.”

The cast also includes Lauren O’Rourke as Laura, Lydia Rose Bewley as Bunny and Bob Mortimer as Meg’s dad, Frank.

Comedy Commissioning Editor, Fiona McDermott commented: “Drifters promises to be a really funny sitcom about really funny girls. It’s that simple. Jess is a fab talent and it’s great to be working with her and the chaps at Bwark on something new.”
