Netflix Goes Demon Hunting With “Crazy Face”
Netflix is teaming with E4 for “Crazy Face,” a new series from Misfits creator Howard Overman, says THR.
The six-part series will star Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey) and Susan Wokoma (E4’s Chewing Gum) and is described as a dark comedy with unexpected twists.
The comedy, which hails from Urban Myth Films for Channel 4 in association with Netflix, “is a funny and gripping entry about friendship, love and facing your demons.” It follows the angst and exorcisms of an unlikely duo of demon hunters (played by Theobold and Wokoma).
When people die most go quietly into the night. But some have unfinished business: scores to settle. These souls work through their issues by possessing the living. Most of the time they walk freely among us, unseen by all but a special few. Amy (Theobold) is one of those few. She works in a bowling alley and never imagined herself battling the legions of hell. Enter Raquel (Wokoma), armed with Wikipedia and a baton she bought on eBay, Raquel’s a self-made demon hunter with a whole lot of baggage and an impressive lack of social skills.
Riann Steele (In the Flesh) co-stars as Amy’s best friend Suzanne; Lewis Reeves (Unforgotten) plays Jake, workmate-with-a-massive-crush; Arinze Kene (Youngers) is Raquel’s level-headed older brother Tyler; and Tony Curran (Sons of Anarchy) is the sinister Callum.
Crazy Face will be broadcast exclusively on E4 in the U.K., with Netflix streaming the series globally after its premiere. Overman, Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy executive produce the comedy, which was developed and commissioned by Channel 4 drama head Piers Wenger and Beth Willis, with Lee Mason on board as the commissioning executive. The deal expands Netflix’s relationship with Channel 4 beyond the previously announced Kiss Me First, an adapation of Lottie Moggach’s best-selling YA novel of the same name. Production on Crazy Face will begin this week in Bristol.
