The series follows Janet (Roisin Gallagher, The Dry), a foul-mouthed supermarket worker who doesn’t care about anything, and Seamus (Johnny Flynn, Stardust), a handsome, self-centered, political broadcaster with a seemingly perfect London life and a celebrity girlfriend (Alice Eve, Belgravia).

- In the Kitchen with Harry Hamlin: A Holiday Special – Premieres Wednesday, December 13 on AMC+ and IFC
Get ready for a very Hamlin Holiday! The “King of Bolognese,” Harry Hamlin (Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches), along with his niece and classically trained chef Renee Guilbault, will host In the Kitchen with Harry Hamlin: A Holiday Special. Shot in Hamlin’s home kitchen, the 30-minute cooking show is a unique combination of cooking, dinner party, and documentary … all with a dash of comedy and ‘feels’ along the way. It arrives just in time for the holidays as the duo prepares a festive meal, putting their own spin on classic beef bourguignon, and celebrates the labor of love that is holiday cooking. They’ll be joined by close family and friends, including Hamlin’s wife, actress Lisa Rinna, saxophone legend Kenny G, Hamlin’s daughter model, Delilah Hamlin, Hamlin’s son model and actor, Dimitri Hamlin and others. The special serves as a preview to a full, five-episode series, In the Kitchen with Harry Hamlin, that will air weekly beginning in May 2024 on AMC+ and IFC.
