Even as it enters the realms of big apocalyptic demon carnage, Crazyhead can’t help but surprise and delight with its now-trademark anarchic style. Over the past six weeks, it’s taken the standard ‘chosen one versus supernatural’ formula and given average genre tropes an injection of tongue in cheek fun. The demon drama draws to a … >
At first glance, this penultimate instalment of Crazyhead would appear to be business as usual. There’s the usual display of cheekiness, intelligent wit and endearing character work, but it hardly feels like its building to any huge revelatory crescendo. But whilst ‘Downward Facing Dog’ doesn’t exactly shake everything to the core ready for the big … >
Say what you like about E4’s Crazyhead (though we’d rather you didn’t, as we’re growing quite fond of it actually), but the one thing you can never accuse it of is being a slow burner.

Yet based on the opening instalment of E4’s new six-part horror-comedy Crazyhead, it’s possible we may have something … >
The second season of E4 comedy Chewing Gum has started filming. Actress, writer, playwright, singer and poet Michaela Coel is back as Tracey Gordon for six new 30-minute episodes, which will air on E4 later this year. The first season of Chewing Gum launched on E4 last October. Other returning cast members include Danielle Walters (Kill Your Friends) and Kadiff … >
E4 has announced the cast for its new comedy-horror series from the makers of Merlin. Created by Misfits writer Howard Overman, who also created BBC One’s short-lived Atlantis and wrote many episode of Merlin, Crazyhead will be broadcast in the UK exclusively on E4, with Netflix streaming the series around the rest of the world. The six-part series began filming … >
