‘Jonah Kills’ UK Comedy Pilot In Works At Showtime From Clem Garritty, Iain MacDonald & Jax Media

There is no work currently being done on the scripts but I hear the intention is to cast and film a pilot after the strikes, and veteran TV director Iain B.
MacDonald (Poker Face, Shantaram) has been tapped to direct it. Jonah Kills follows a gay man living in London and trying to find love through sex, only to discover that every person he has ever slept with has died in a freak accident.
