The Flatshare

Product Information

Alongside those gushing Nora Ephron comparisons, ‘The Flatshare’ also had critics reaching for Richard Curtis parallels, although the kind of flat it’s set in is nothing like the chi-chi west London pads that pop up in Curtis’s movie. Sometimes you just need to see two very beautiful people have a series of misunderstandings until they snog. Their friends are wary about the arrangement, but to Tiffy and Leon it’s the perfect solution: he will occupy the flat while she is at work during the day, and she will have the flat to herself while he works night shifts.

I think Justin needed to be a big part of the story because understanding that relationship was Tiffy’s arc. Working on The Flatshare and bringing Tiff and Leon to Rom-com life alongside the BRILLIANT Anthony Welsh was a dream come true.

Because I’m not that familiar with contemporary British vernacular and don’t read many books set in contemporary England, at first I felt a little at a remove from the story and characters, but they were so endearing that I got over it relatively quickly. Her erotic short story, “Kiss of Life,” appears in the Berkley anthology AGONY/ECSTASY under the pen name Lily Daniels. We had such a great cast and crew bringing this world to life and I’m looking forward to sharing our flat with everyone. The novel is leavened by humor and by a charming subplot that involves Leon’s efforts to track down the World-War-II-era lover of one of his patients.

Shaniqua Okwok ( It’s a Sin) and Jonah Hauer-King ( World on Fire and Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid) play Tiffany’s best friends Maia and Mo. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Beth O’Leary’s captivating bestseller to television,’ say executive-producers Miriam Brent, Rory Aitken and Eleanor Moran.

I should hate it, and I sort of do, and yet I also don’t, which I appreciate is confusing when it comes to a review. There’s no word on the launch date as yet, but Flatshare will be one of 50 new shows the streamer will be producing worldwide in 2022. I’d actually like to see more tight, charming stories being given this amount of time in which to enjoy themselves – the whole thing is like dipping into a nice warm bath. At Bother, Tiffany is tasked with doing edgy content, as it’s her job, and also the site is losing money and needs to get more hits.
