Recurring TV series

Friction

Written by Sharon Burrell and Cat Muir

Friction is a present day, fast-paced drama which delivers whip-smart, sexy and urgent eco-action designed to stimulate and entertain.

Inspired by shows like Industry and State of Play, but this time centring women in midlife, Friction is set at the crossroads where the vibrant, high-voltage worlds of global finance, politics and media clash with the greige world of “Mission Control”, the UK government’s hub responsible for the transition to green energy.

Echoing successful US shows such as How To Get Away With Murder and Scandal, the series is led by a black female protagonist at the top of her game, entirely capable and comfortable with speaking truth to power, and taking no prisoners as she fights to expose the insidious presence of the fossil fuel industry, whatever the personal cost. And just as in UK series such as Black Doves, Killing Eve and Vigil, her adventures bring her into contact with a high-octane set of women not afraid to break societal norms to get what they want.
