Netflix Exorcising Demons with New Series Crazy Face
Netflix has truly changed the way we all consume entertainment, and their original series have been some of the best to come along in recent years. Today we’re very excited to report that the streaming service is developing a horror-comedy series with an incredibly fun premise, so read on for all the details!
Per THR, Netflix is teaming with E4 for “Crazy Face,” a new series from “Misfits” creator Howard Overman. The six-part series, which will premiere on E4 in the U.K. and then hit Netflix globally, stars Cara Theobold (“Downton Abbey”) and Susan Wokoma (“Chewing Gum”) and is described as a dark comedy with unexpected twists.
Hailing from Urban Myth Films for Channel 4 in association with Netflix, the series follows the angst and exorcisms of an unlikely duo of demon hunters.
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, her 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.
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.
