Here's everything you need to know about I Hate Suzie:
When is I Hate Suzie on TV?
All episodes of I Hate Suzie will arrive on Sky and NOW TV on 27th August 2020.
What is I Hate Suzie about?
The "excruciatingly honest" eight-part series follows Suzie Pickles (Piper), whose world is turned upside down after her phone is hacked and images of her in a "compromising position" are leaked.
Exposed and devastated, Suzie attempts to hold her life and career together, as well as her marriage to husband Cob (Daniel Ings).
Episode by episode, she goes through all the stages of grief — Shock, Denial, Fear, Shame, Bargaining, Guilt, Anger and Acceptance — while seeking counsel from her best friend and manager, Naomi (Leila Farzad). As Sky puts it, this "bold, bracing" drama asks "if any of us can survive being well and truly ‘known’."
Screenwriter and playwright Lucy Prebble previously created and wrote the TV drama Secret Diary of a Call Girl (starring Piper), and she has been a writer and producer on Succession. Her plays include The Sugar Syndrome, The Effect, ENRON, and A Very Expensive Poison.
“It’s taken years to finally get Lucy, my long-term GF and favourite writer in London - to work with me again," Piper said. "We feel we’ve created something timely and not for the faint-hearted. If you too suffer with anxiety, shame, compulsive lying but like a laugh, please tune in at some point.”
Some of the drama was actually filmed on location at London's Comic Con in 2019.
