New British TV Show About Demon Hunters, Crazy Face From Misfits' Howard Overman, For E4 And Netflix

Misfits creator Howard Overman has a new show.

And, no, it's not More Misfits.

Crazy Face, airing on E4 in the UK and Netflix worldwide is a" funny, gripping series about friendship, love and facing your demons that follows the angst and exorcisms of an unlikely duo of demon hunters" played by Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey) and Susan Wokoma (Chewing Gum).

The six-part series which begins filming this week in Bristol, is being produced by Urban Myth Films for Channel 4 in association with Netflix.  Crazy Face will be broadcast in the UK exclusively on E4, with Netflix streaming the series globally following E4's UK premiere.

When people die most go quietly into the night. But some have unfinished business: scores to settle, blood to spill, axes to plant in people's heads…These tormented souls work through their issues by possessing the living. Most of the time they walk freely amongst us, unseen by all but a special few.

Amy (Theobold) is one of those few. She works in a bowling alley and never really imagined herself battling the legions of hell. It can play havoc with a girl's love life. Not to mention her mind. Thankfully Amy isn't alone. Enter Raquel (Wokoma). Armed with Wikipedia and a baton she bought on e-bay, Raquel's a self-made demon hunter with a whole lot of baggage and an impressive lack of social skills.

An unlikely friendship is born as Amy and Raquel attempt to navigate their way through the choppy waters of their early twenties whilst simultaneously kicking the ass of some seriously gnarly demons.  What could possibly go wrong?

Crazy Face also stars Riann Steele ('In the Flesh') as Amy's best friend Suzanne; Lewis Reeves ('Unforgotten') as her workmate-with-a-massive crush Jake; Arinze Kene ('Youngers') as Raquel's level-headed older brother Tyler, with Tony Curran ('Defiance', 'Sons of Anarchy') as the sinister Callum.

Executive Producers are Johnny Capps, Julian Murphy and Howard Overman. CRAZY FACE was developed and commissioned by Channel 4 Head of Drama Piers Wenger and Beth Willis, with Lee Mason as Commissioning Executive.
