Steve Coogan and Sarah Solemani lead the cast in upcoming Channel 4 comedy-drama Chivalry, featuring a star-studded ensemble that includes everyone from Sienna Miller and Aisling Bea to Wanda Sykes.
The series follows two figures from the film industry, Cameron and Bobby, played by Coogan and Solemani – who are also co-creators and co-writers on the series.
According to Channel 4, Cameron is “a successful film producer and ‘ladies man’” who must detoxify his film set following #MeToo, while Bobby is a “passionate indie-darling filmmaker”.
The new show “offers a fresh new look on gender politics and romance, and asks the question: can one build and sustain a successful, relevant career in Hollywood without sacrificing authenticity”, according to a synopsis from the broadcaster.
The synopsis continues: “How fluid are our politics and how political are our fluids? And can romance blossom – not in spite of #MeToo, but because of it?
“Chivalry explores the truths and the myths behind these characters, their judgements of each other and their assumptions of themselves, seeking to break down and explore classic stereotypes. Chivalry grants the audience permission to laugh while asking complex questions that as a society, we often find hard to discuss.”
