Disney+ has confirmed that Alice and Steve, a new comedy-drama starring Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement, will premiere on 8 June as a box set. The six-part series, described by the streamer as “outrageously witty”, centres on the friendship-turned-feud between the two titular characters.
The official synopsis reveals that Alice (Walker) is devastated when her best friend Steve (Clement) begins dating her 26-year-old daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). Alice tries everything to end the relationship, but Steve is ready for the attack, and what begins as a perfect friendship devolves into an all-out feud.
Billed as an “anti-romantic comedy”, the show explores friendship, family and love, posing the question: how far would you go for love – or revenge? Created and written by Sophie Goodhart (Sex Education, Rivals), the cast also includes Joel Fry, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher, Ebony Aboagye and Sam Chapman.
Nicola Walker said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to be stepping into the fabulous world of friendship, motherhood, marriage, frantic revenge and fierce love that Sophie Goodhart has created, and to be doing it with Jemaine Clement is completely joyful!”
