HBO Max has acquired the US rights to I Hate Suzie, the Sky comedy drama co-designed by follow-up writer Lucy Prebble and produced by His Dark Materials outfit Bad Wolf.
The eight-part series, co-designed and co-created by former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper, follows a famous woman whose life is changed by hacking her phone and posting graphic images of her extramarital affair.
Each episode takes her through stages of shock, denial, fear, shame, negotiation, guilt, anger and acceptance as Suzie and her best friend and manager Naomi try to keep their lives, careers and marriage together.
I Hate Suzie is sold internationally by NBCUniversal Global Distribution on behalf of Sky Studios. Prebble and Piper said HBO Max was the “perfect home” for “our loving, twisted, living slap of a show.”
Julie Gardner, executive producer of I Hate Suzie and founder of Bad Wolf added, “I Hate Suzie is a televisual tour de force that instantly wowed audiences in the UK. Everyone at Bad Wolf is now thrilled that Suzie will soon be unleashed in the US. “
