In the series, Walker plays Alice, whose daughter Izzy, portrayed by Yali Topol Margalith, begins a romance with Alice's best friend Steve, played by Jemaine Clement. Alice tries to sabotage the relationship between Izzy and Steve, leading Steve to fight back and turning their friendship into an 'all-out feud', according to Disney+. The series consists of six half-hour episodes and will be released on Disney+ in summer 2024.
It is created by Sophie Goodhart, who worked on 'Sex Education', produced by Clerkenwell Films, which produced 'Baby Reindeer', and directed by Tom Kingsley, who directed 'Stath Lets Flats'. The cast includes Joel Fry, Tyrese Eaton-Dyce, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher, and Ebony Aboagye. Early critical reception and specific themes beyond the basic plot have not been disclosed, and plans for a second season or promotional events remain unknown.
A hilarious, messy, and complicated exploration of friendship, family, and love, Alice and Steve is an anti-romantic comedy that asks the question, how far would you go for love - or revenge?
Will Alice forgive Steve? Will Steve and Izzy make a relationship work? Amongst all the questions hanging in the balance, one thing is certain; their lives will never be the same again.
