deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Starstruck co-writer Alice Snedden is directing a Channel 4 comedy about love in the cost-of-living crisis.
Snedden is helming a one-off for Channel’s 4 Blap strand titled Break Clause, which is written and created by Jess Bray (The Outlaws) and will star BAFTA-nominee Samuel Bottomley (Somewhere Boy, How to Have Sex), Lara Ricote (Live at the Apollo), Jamali Maddix (Never Mind the Buzzcocks), Lauryn Ajufo (Everything Now) and Leo Reich (Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!).
In Break Clause, Lara and Ben get together but swiftly break up on the first night of moving in together, quickly finding themselves in a legally binding contract they can only end after a fixed term period of six months.
The show was described as “the true cost of loving in a cost-of-living crisis” by Channel 4. Break Clause has shades of Starstruck, the BBC-HBO comedy that Snedden co-wrote with its creator Rose Matafeo.
