Stella’s having a rough patch. New city, new job, and an ex-girlfriend who’s never far from her thoughts.
——
A large-scale project written by Josh Bourne and produced by the inimitable Emilia Clark, Pillow Talk is a webseries about sex, dating, and millennial life.
The series prominently features characters of colour and of underrepresented sexuality, aiming to tell fresh stories for a modern audience. It centres on the conversations Stella - a young, BAME, bisexual woman - has with the people she’s just been in bed with, in a comedic but emotional exploration of the worlds of relationships, causal sex, and moving on. Pillow Talk stars an exciting range of emerging talent, including Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton, Alex Rider) and Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana (Emmerdale, Slow Horses).
Each episode features a different guest character, with the visual language altering to match their personality. This allows the series to display a great range of looks, textures, and techniques, including one episode filmed in a single 8-minute take.
Pillow Talk is currently in post-production.
