On the hunt for a new weekend-watch? One that will make you laugh instead of cry but isn’t lacking in substance? While that might be a tricky find, we may have just the ticket: I Hate Suzie.
Particularly ideal for fans of Fleabag, the new TV series is a no-holds-barred, sardonic comedy-drama that’s primed to fill the void left behind by Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s iconic series.
Intrigued? Read on for everything you need to know about I Hate Suzie, from the plot to the premiere date and everything in between.
What is the plot of I Hate Suzie?
Suzie Pickles is a former child star whose acting career is finally about to get a boost after she lands a Disney princess role she thought she was too old for — until she’s served one life-altering curveball.
Her phone has been hacked, and photos of her performing a sex act are all over the internet. To make matters worse? The man in the photos isn’t her husband.
Naturally, Suzie’s world is turned upside down, and between trying to work through the aftermath of the scandal with her best friend and manager, Naomi, and attempting to keep her marriage alive, there’s a lot going on.
That said, it’s all done brilliantly, and Suzie, who ricochets between anxiety, selfishness and impulsiveness, is oddly mesmerising in her anti-heroine persona.
But don’t take our word for it, check out the trailer below for a sneak peek.
Who stars in I Hate Suzie?
Famous for her roles on Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Dr. Who, Billie Piper is both the co-creator and star of the show, playing the role of the titular Suzie Pickles.
Piper is joined brilliantly by Leila Farzad (Innocent), who plays Suzie’s manager and best friend, Naomi Jones. Daniel Ings, who viewers may recognise from The Crown, Black Mirror and Sex Education, plays Cob Betterton, Suzie’s husband.
What is the release date for I Hate Suzie?
All eight episodes of season one of I Hate Suzie will be available to watch on Stan on August 28.
