The trailer has been launched for Prime Video original series ‘Dead Hot’, which will premiere on the streamer on 1st March 2024.
The six-episode comedy-thriller is created and written by Charlotte Coben (‘The Stranger’, ‘Stay Close’, ‘Shelter’, ‘Fool Me Once‘) and executive produced by Nicola Shindler (“It’s A Sin”, ‘Nolly’). The series stars Bilal Hasna (‘Extraordinary’), Vivian Oparah (‘Rye Lane’), Penelope Wilton (‘Downton Abbey’) and Peter Serafinowicz (‘The School for Good and Evil’).
Described as ‘a compelling and twisty character-driven comedy-thriller set in Liverpool, which explores family, class, love, trauma, and identity’, ‘Dead Hot’ finds protagonists Elliot (Hasna) and Jess (Oparah), navigating the highs and lows, and complexities of their mid-twenties. Wilton plays Francine, Elliot’s extremely wealthy, traditional and bigoted grandmother and Serafinowicz plays Detective Chief Inspector Danny.
Set in present-day Liverpool, twentysomethings Elliot and Jess are best friends united by a bond of grief at losing Peter – the first and only love of Elliot and Jess’ twin brother. It’s been five years since Peter went missing in mysterious circumstances, and still reeling from the trauma, the best friends spiral into a hedonistic lifestyle, partying to numb their grief while clinging to a small hope that they will one day find out what happened.
When Elliot meets Will, he starts to think he can put the past behind him. But when Elliot learns Will has his own dark secrets, just as Jess is contacted by somebody claiming to be her brother, it sets into motion a determination for the pair to find out if Elliot’s romantically cursed—or being targeted.
Further cast includes Rosie Cavaliero (‘Funny Woman’), Rebekah Murrell (‘The Pact’), Alan Turkington (‘Heartstopper’), Brandon Fellows (‘The Stranger’) and rising star Marcus Hodson.
