Russell T Davies’ drama “Tip Toe” is heading to Starz in the U.S. and Canada.
The network has exclusively acquired the LGBTQ+ drama series, which stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as warring neighbors.
The five-part series will premiere in North America later this year.
Cumming plays Leo while Morrissey stars as Clive, two men in Manchester who have lived next door to each other for almost 15 years before relations unexpectedly deteriorate.
“Leo runs Spit & Polish, a bar on Canal Street and Clive is an electrician with two teenage sons,” reads the synopsis. “But just as life should be settling down for both, the world around them is growing more tense. Words become weapons, opinions become radicalized and gradually the two neighbors become deadly enemies in a tense, thrilling drama that spotlights the prejudices that have started to creep back into our lives, in a story that speaks not just to the queer community, but to the world at large.”
