Spreadsheet

8 X 30 MIN | 2021 | PRODUCED FOR PARAMOUNT+

Spreadsheet is an eight-part comedy series about divorced, hectic mother-of-two, Lauren (Katherine Parkinson) who is looking for sex without commitment.

With the help of best friend Alex, Lauren develops the“Spreadsheet”: a database of sex options, customised to ensure her sushi train of sex rolls around with variety and order amidst the chaos of her life. What Lauren didn’t expect was a slew of needy men, which apparently even a well-managed excel tracker can’t control.

 Starring UK actress Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd, Doc Martin), Spreadsheet features a stellar cast including Stephen Curry, Robbie Magasiva, Rowan Witt, Katrina Milosevic, Ryan Shelton, Zahra Newman, Kerry Armstrong and Richard Piper. 

Spreadsheet is Australia’s first original comedy commission for Paramount+ and has received principal production funding from Screen Australia with support from Film Victoria and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios. Produced by Northern Pictures and created by Kala Ellis with Darren Ashton, this is Kala’s debut series as writer/creator.
