Overview
- Starz announced on Wednesday that it has acquired North American rights to Tip Toe and plans to debut the five-part series in the U.S. and English-speaking Canada later this year.
- The drama was created by Russell T. Davies and stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as next-door neighbours in Manchester whose relationship collapses as social tensions escalate.
- Tip Toe was commissioned by Channel 4, produced by Quay Street Productions in association with ITV Studios, and filmed on location in Manchester with Peter Hoar directing and Nicola Shindler among the executive producers.
- ITV Studios brokered the deal for Starz and confirmed the principal cast and creative team; no specific North American premiere date or future season plans have been announced.
- The series debuted in the U.K. during Pride Month to strong early reviews for its focus on prejudice facing the queer community and the Starz pickup signals continued U.S. interest in bold, topical LGBTQ+ drama.
