Smothered on Binge – First look trailer for the new comedy series Smothered, created by Monica Heisey (Workin’ Moms, Schitt’s Creek), has been released ahead of its 7 December premiere on BINGE, with all six-episodes dropping at once.
Will they? Won’t they? Should they? Shouldn’t they? Starring Danielle Vitalis (I May Destroy You, Black Mirror) and Jon Pointing (Big Boys), Smothered is a tale of two worlds colliding, where romance blossoms but the pressures of modern dating linger.
Sammy (Vitalis) is a fiercely independent young woman who is done with dating apps, sick of immature men, and here for a good time. Tom (Pointing) has never been inclined to swipe left or right; he’s a settled man with a warm heart but carries his fair share of baggage. On a night out, the two strangers meet, and end up singing out their drunken souls in a karaoke booth. Then the inevitable happens. (They hook up).
What seems like a great idea at the time, the strangers agree to have a no strings attached affair for three weeks – but on the condition that they never speak again.
What was supposed to be a few weeks of great sex, pasta in bed and first names only, the sparks flying around them cannot be ignored. But Sammy soon makes a shocking discovery that there is another woman in Tom’s life… his six-year-old daughter Ellie.
The series also stars Aisling Bea (This Way Up), Mercury Prize nominee Rebecca Lucy Taylor, also known as Self Esteem, Blair Underwood (Sex and the City, LA Law), Rizzlekick’s Jordan Stephens, TikTok stars Harry Trevaldwyn and Coco Sarel, and Lisa Hammond (Eastenders). Smothered is produced by the multi award-winning Roughcut TV.
Smothered on Binge – premieres Thursday December 7 on BINGE and on FOX8 on Friday December 8 at 730pm and available On Demand.
