Yahoo News Stay Close and It's a Sin bosses' new thriller series gets release window
Prime Video's upcoming comedy-thriller series Dead Hot has landed a release window.
The show, which is created and written by Charlotte Coben (Stay Close) and executive produced by Nicola Shindler (It's a Sin), will launch exclusively on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland in 2024 (via Televisual).
Dead Hot is set in present-day Liverpool and stars Bilal Hasna (Extraordinary) and Vivan Oparah (Rye Lane) as best friends Elliot and Jess, who are united by grief after losing Peter— Elliot's first love and Jess' twin brother.

Elliot believes he can finally move on when he meets Will, but when he discovers Will has his own dark secrets, and Jess is contacted by someone claiming to be her brother, the two decide to find out if Elliot is romantically cursed—or if he's being targeted.
Dead Hot also stars Penelope Wilton (Downton Abbey) and Peter Serafinowicz (The School for Good and Evil), though their exact roles are yet to be confirmed.
The series marks the third collaboration between Coben and Shindler, who previously worked together on Netflix shows The Stranger and Stay Close.

"Charlotte Coben is a clever writer and the scripts she has delivered for Dead Hot are outstanding; she's a natural talent. I'm delighted she chose Quay Street Productions for this exciting project," Schindler said in a statement.
"Dead Hot is a unique story with heartbreak, humour, and absurdity, with two magnificent rising stars leading a brilliant cast. There are plenty of surprises along the way, and we're delighted to be bringing this to life."
Hasna added that he can't wait for audiences to "go on a journey full of adventure and heartfelt friendship in equal measure," while Oparah said she is "beyond excited to be bringing this zany world to life with such a talented creative team."
Dead Hot will launch exclusively on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland in 2024.
