ITV buys American comedy Slip
Watch the trailer
ITV has brought the rights to US sci-fi comedy Slip.
The series was written by New Yorker Zoe Lister-Jones, who starts as Mae Cannon, a 30-something woman who travels through parallel universes trying to find her way back to her partner and herself.
The seven-part series aired on The Roku Channel in America last year, but removed after six months as part of a cost-cutting drive, despite having a 100 per cent positive rating from critics, according to review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
It co-stars Emily Hampshire and Whitmer Thomas and was co-produced by Dakota Johnson’s company TeaTime Pictures.
The show will be on streaming platform ITVX this summer.
