Anthony Boyle (House of Guinness) leads the cast of Charmer, a new eight-part drama series from Sky now in production, alongside Siena Kelly (Black Mirror), Sophie Wilde (Digger), and Vivian Oparah.
The series follows Ryan (Boyle), a seducer-for-hire employed to test the fidelity of his wealthy clients’ partners among an ambitious group of thirty-something Londoners. When an assignment becomes personal as a wedding day draws closer, Ryan risks breaking the one rule that has always defined him: never fall in love.
Also in the cast are Connor Swindells, Sam Delich, Neil Maskell, Karan Gill, Sophie Simnett and Polly Walker.
Created and written by Thomas Aspell, the series is directed by Elliot Hegarty (Rivals, Ted Lasso). Additional episodes are written by Melissa Bubnic, Constance Cheng and Anna Ssemuyaba, with Dionne Edwards directing block two.
The series is produced by Working Title Television and Story Films in association with Universal Global Television and Sky Studios. Executive producers include Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Surian Fletcher-Jones and Simon Hatton for Working Title Television, David Nath and Peter Beard for Story Films, and Aspell and Hegarty. Josh Wilkins serves as co-executive producer.
Charmer will air on Sky and Now in the UK and Italy, with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handling international sales.
