DESCRIPTION:
(from Showtime's press release, October 2017) SHOWTIME has acquired the BBC series ILL BEHAVIOUR, a six-part comedy thriller about the boundaries of friendship and the lengths taken to preserve it. Starring Chris Geere (You're the Worst), Lizzy Caplan (MASTERS OF SEX) and Tom Riley (DaVinci's Demons), ILL BEHAVIOUR focuses on Joel (Geere) who uses any methods, conventional or otherwise, to save Charlie (Riley) when Charlie announces that he is abandoning chemotherapy treatment for his cancer. Written by Sam Bain (Peep Show) and directed by Steve Bendelack (Friday Night Dinner), ILL BEHAVIOUR makes its SHOWTIME debut on Monday, November 13 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. ILL BEHAVIOUR is produced by Fudge Park Productions. In ILL BEHAVIOUR, the recently divorced Joel moves in with best friend Charlie, who sets him up on a date with Nadia (Caplan), a doctor who also happens to be a raging alcoholic. Their connection is complicated by the newest revelation about Charlie's condition, sending the trio and mutual friend Tess (Jessica Regan, Doctors) down a reckless path. Tempers flare, temperatures rise, copious amounts of alcohol are consumed, cross-bows are brandished, friends turn into enemies, enemies turn into lovers and life-long relationships bend, stretch - and shatter.
