The Hollywood Reporter is on the set of Alice and Steve watching a master at work.
It’s June of last year, and on a warm day in southwest London, THR is a guest of the Disney+/Hulu show that would go on to sweep Canneseries and garner some serious buzz for writer Sophie Goodhart, whose credits include Rivals and Sex Education.
That portfolio is a great symbolizer of what’s to come in the six-episode “wrong-com” Alice and Steve, streaming this week on June 8, a year on from getting to hit the set and see Nicola Walker do exactly what she does best: have a bit of a meltdown.
The series follows BAFTA-nominated Walker, famed for roles in Spooks and the hit BBC drama The Split, as Alice. She’s been best friends with Steve (Jemaine Clement, best known for Flight of the Conchords and as the creator of What We Do in the Shadows) for decades, but her whole world is turned upside down when Steve announces that he’s began dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith).
