Big Talk Studios has commenced filming for a new comedy series titled ‘Transaction’, which will be aired on ITVX. Set in the coastal town of Hartlepool, this series marks another creative venture for Jordan Gray, an acclaimed performer known for her distinctive comedic style. The show is anticipated to bring a fresh breath of humour and creativity to the screen.
Jordan Gray, who both created and stars in the series, aims to deliver a narrative as endearing and lasting as her own public persona. The series, consisting of six episodes each lasting thirty minutes, follows the life of Liv, a transgender character portrayed with remarkable depth by Gray herself.
Nick Frost, celebrated for his roles in films such as ‘Hot Fuzz’ and ‘How To Train Your Dragon’, plays Simon, a character whose ill-judged marketing campaign stands at the centre of the comedic chaos. Simon’s hiring of Liv, hoping to rectify his blunder, leads to unintended hilarity as Liv discovers her unfirable status and begins to indulge in anarchic antics within the supermarket.
The supporting cast includes seasoned actors like Doon Mackichan, Thomas Gray, and Francesca Mills, all contributing to the series’ dynamic ensemble. This diverse cast, underpinned by the witty writing of Jordan Gray, is expected to elevate the show’s appeal, promising a series ripe with engaging performances and humorous insights into workplace relationships.
Kenton Allen, CEO of Big Talk Studios, expressed his excitement with the blend of Jordan Gray’s razor-sharp writing and Nick Frost’s comedic prowess, suggesting a promising synergy. The production also benefits from funding by the North East Screen Industries Partnership, enhancing its production quality and regional significance.
‘Transaction’ is poised to be an engaging addition to contemporary comedy, offering both humour and insight.
