‘FLOWERS’ – SEESO’S FIRST SCRIPTED ORIGINAL SERIES – TO PREMIERE MAY 5
Check Out Trailer for All-New Comedy-Drama Starring Olivia Colman, Julian Barratt and Will Sharpe
NEW YORK, April 6, 2016 – Seeso, the ad-free comedy streaming channel, will premiere the anticipated comedy-drama “Flowers,” starring Olivia Colman (“Broadchurch,” “The Lobster,” “Peep Show,” “Hot Fuzz”) and Julian Barratt (“The Mighty Boosh,” “Nathan Barley”) and written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Will Sharpe (“Black Pond”), May 5.
The six, half-hour episode series also stars BAFTA-winning stars Daniel Rigby (“Eric and Ernie,” “Cardinal Burns,” “Undercover”) and Georgina Campbell (“Murdered By My Boyfriend”), and will be available in its entirety at premiere for all Seeso subscribers.
“Flowers”
is an imaginative, cinematic show about an eccentric and dysfunctional
family struggling to hold themselves together. Maurice (Barratt), the
author of illustrated children’s books The Grubbs, and music teacher
wife Deborah (Colman) are barely together, but yet to divorce. As
Maurice fights inner demons and dark secrets, Deborah tries to keep the
family together at all costs and becomes increasingly suspicious that
Maurice is in a secret homosexual relationship with his Japanese
illustrator Shun (played by show creator Will Sharpe).
The
Flowers family live in a creaky, messy, crumbling old house with
Maurice's ailing mother Hattie (Leila Hoffman) and their maladjusted
25-year-old twins Amy (Sophia di Martino – “Friday Night Dinner,” “Mount Pleasant”) and Donald (Daniel Rigby). Both are competing for the affection of neighbor Abigail (Georgina Campbell) as they struggle to burst through the confines of their arrested development.
Swinging
from the profane to the profound, the Flowers family and their often
self-inflicted crises, are surrounded by odd neighbors who become the
agents of further heartache and misfortune. Despite living on top of
each other the family will do anything to not communicate, pushing them
and their struggles with love and life to extreme and ridiculous places.
For $3.99 a month, Seeso subscribers have on-demand access to over 2,000 hours of exclusive original content via via www.seeso.com, iOS, Android, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick and Roku, with additional platforms.

Pear. “Flowers” was commissioned by Phil Clarke, Channel 4’s Head of
Comedy, in association with Seeso (Evan Shapiro, Kelsey Balance and Dan
