New comedy series ‘Transaction’ featuring Jordan Gray and Nick Frost to air later this month
The brand new comedy series, which will air on ITVX and ITV2, will also star Doon Mackichan, Thomas Gray, Francesca Mills and Kayla Meikle.
Transaction, a 6x30’ comedy from Big Talk Studios, created by and starring award-winning comedy performer Jordan Gray, finally arrives on ITVX and ITV2 from Tuesday 24 June. The series will drop as a full series box set on ITVX and air weekly on ITV2.
The workplace comedy also stars Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, How To Train Your Dragon, Get Away), Doon Mackichan (Two Doors Down, Good Omens), Thomas Gray (Peacock, A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder), Francesca Mills (The Witcher, Boat Story), and Kayla Meikle (Mickey 17, The Girl Before).
Jordan Gray stars as Liv, a transgender egomaniac, causing havoc in the strange world of the supermarket nightshift. Having been hired to work there by Pellocks boss Simon (Frost) after he inadvertently offended the LGBTQ+ community with an ill-conceived marketing campaign, Liv soon realises she’s unsackable and sets about turning the store into her own personal playground, unleashing chaos on everyone and everything around her.
Transaction promises to be a colourful and noisy comedy from writer-performer Gray.
ITV’s Head of Comedy, Nana Hughes, said: “Jordan Gray's unique blend of humour and creativity certainly makes Transaction an exciting and engaging comedy. We cannot wait to see Jordan Gray and Nick Frost in action.”
Big Talk Studios CEO and Executive Producer, Kenton Allen, said: “Transaction promises to be a very eye-catching contemporary comedy, with Jordan Gray, Nick Frost and Thomas Gray forming an unlikely but electric threesome. Jordan's razor-sharp writing and timing paired with Nick's legendary comedic presence is comedy dynamite. And of course, it’s always a thrill to work with Mr Frost, a Big Talk OG of the finest vintage.”
Transaction creator and cast member, Jordan Gray, said: "My one true goal with this show is to create something as timeless as my implants."
