Sky’s I Hate Suzie Commences Filming, Sets Cast

I Hate Suzie, the new Sky original created by Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper, has begun filming, with its premiere slated for 2020 on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.

Joining the cast of I Hate Suzie is Daniel Ings (Lovesick, The Crown), Leila Farzad (Innocent, Twenty Twelve) and Nathaniel Martello-White (Collateral, Guerilla) alongside Piper, who leads the cast as Suzie Pickles. Lorraine Ashbourne (Unforgotten, Jericho) and Phil Daniels (EastEnders, New Tricks) are playing Suzie’s parents.

Produced by Bad Wolf Limited, I Hate Suzie follows Suzie Pickles, a star on the wane, who has her life upended when she is hacked and a photo of her emerges in a compromising position. This eight-part series reveals Suzie’s unmasking and its trauma through the stages of shock, denial, fear, shame, bargaining, guilt, anger and acceptance as she and her best friend and manager try to hold her life, career and marriage together.

I Hate Suzie is directed by Georgi Banks-Davies and produced by Andrea Dewsbery for Bad Wolf.

Prebble and Piper said: “A strong, dark, fun tale like I Hate Suzie needs actors with nerve as well as talent. We’re thrilled to be working with such a brilliant ensemble. We hope you enjoy!”
