‘Ted Lasso’ star Phil Dunster will also appear in the movie.
Simone Ashley (Bridgerton, Sex Education) and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After) will star in the new U.K. original romantic comedy Picture This for Amazon‘s Prime Video.
The movie’s cast also includes Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Nikesh Patel (London Has Fallen), Adil Ray (Citizen Khan), Sindhu Vee (Matilda: The Musical), Anoushka Chadha (You), Kulvinder Ghir (Bend It Like Beckham) and Luke Fetherston (Still Up).
Amazon said that Picture This will premiere on Prime Video in the U.K. “and internationally,” which for the company typically means it plans to make the content available in all or nearly all 240-plus countries and territories. The film doesn’t yet have a release date.
“Single and without a man on the horizon, Pia (Ashley) runs a failing photography studio in London with her best friend Jay (Fetherston),” according to a plot description. “As her sister Sonal (Chadha) prepares to get married and her mother Laxmi (Vee) urges the resolutely independent Pia to partner up, a spiritual guru at Sonal’s engagement party predicts Pia will meet the love of her life among the next five dates she goes on. As her family intervenes, setting her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates, Pia begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love.”
Directed by Prarthana Mohan (The Miseducation of Bindu) and written by Nikita Lalwani, Picture This is based on the Australian movie Five Blind Dates, written by Shuang Hu and Nathan Ramos-Park. The film is produced by 42’s Ben Pugh and Erica Steinberg, with 42’s Josh Horsfield and Kari Hatfield serving as executive producers. Founded in 2013, 42 is a management and film and TV production company based in London and Los Angeles.
“We’re really excited to bring this brilliant new and original London-set romantic comedy to Prime Video customers”, said Tara Erer, head of Northern European originals at Prime Video, predicting that audiences “are going to absolutely love, and laugh a lot, with this film.”
Fiennes Tiffin is repped by The Artists Partnership, CAA, Vybe Trybe, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
