This thoroughly entertaining series should be on your watchlist this month. Nicola is brilliant as the impulsive, fun and slightly eccentric Alice, who takes extreme measures to end Steve’s relationship with her daughter, Izzy (Topol Margalith).

The first look clip teases Alice’s first attempt to break them up, as she invites Steve and Izzy, along with her Gen Z friends, to her house for dinner.

“You do realise this is probably a trap,” Steve tells Izzy as they arrive at the front door.

Taking an optimistic approach, Izzy tells him, “Maybe we could show her that this is a good thing. I like her best friend, and how nice that she already really, really loves the guy I’m dating.”

What is Alice and Steve about?

Billed as “the next must-watch, outrageously witty comedy drama,” the series follows Alice and Steve, whose rock-solid friendship is tested to its limits when Steve starts dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter Izzy.

Alice tries everything she can to end their relationship but unfortunately for her, Steve’s more than ready for the attack.

The synopsis continues: “What begins as a perfect friendship devolves into an all-out feud.”

“A hilarious, messy, and complicated exploration of friendship, family, and love, Alice and Steve is an anti-romantic comedy that asks the question, how far would you go for love – or revenge? Will Alice forgive Steve? Will Steve and Izzy make a relationship work? Amongst all the questions hanging in the balance, one thing is certain; their lives will never be the same again.”

Who stars in Alice and Steve?

Nicola Walker (The Split, Unforgotten) leads the cast as Alice, alongside Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of The Conchords) as Steve.

They’re joined by Joel Fry (Cruella) as Alice’s husband Daniel and Yali Topol Margalith (The Tattooist of Auschwitz) as Izzy.
