Filming has begun on E4’s new comedy about a gang of four twenty-something wasters in a West Country village.

Danny Kirrane, Dylan Edwards, Gwyneth Keyworth and Rose Reynolds will lead the cast of Wasted, alongside Game of Thrones star Sean Bean.

Created by the BAFTA Award winning writing team of James Lamont and Jon Foster (Cuckoo, Amazing World of Gumball), the six-part series will air on E4 this summer.

Described as “fun, facetious and jam-packed with surreal visual sequences”, Wasted is “a series about the stupid things you get up to when there’s nothing much to do.”

The official synopsis reads: “Lovable fantasy fanatic Morpheus, (Danny Kirrane, Trollied), manages a bong shop, (Stoned Henge) with his neurotic sister Sarah (Rose Reynolds, The World’s End). His secret crush is their mate Alison (Gwyneth Keyworth, Game of Thrones), the quirky girl who runs a tattoo business out the back of the shop, and his cocky best friend Kent (Dylan Edwards, The Job Lot) sleeps on the sofa, rent free. Together they’ve been living in each other’s pockets since school and aren’t moving anywhere fast.

“But Morpheus is a dreamer, and his dreams take the form of his hero Sean Bean, who appears in full medieval garb, as Morpheus’ personal spirit guide, to help him navigate the rough seas of wasting your twenties.”

Channel 4’s Commissioning Editor for Comedy, Liz Lewin said, “We can’t wait to bring a bit of Westeros to Wiltshire with the Wasted gang’s adventures. Their exploits across the series are hilarious and ludicrous in equal measure – the perfect mix for an E4 audience”.
