Paramount+ has teamed up with Sex Education producer Eleven to make a series about a bachelor party that ends up with the revelers in prison.
Filming has commenced on the UK original, which is titled Stags and stars Nico Mirallegro (Passenger), Charlie Cooper (This Country), and Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing).
Other members of the ensemble cast include Corin Silva, Sophie Lenglinger, Paul Forman, Jojo Macari, Cavan Clerkin, Paulina Galvez, and Oscar Foranda.
Here’s the log line: “The six-part series follows groom-to-be Stu (Mirallegro) and his friends on his stag do in South America. What was meant to be a week of drink, debauchery and fun takes a dark turn. Instead of boarding a flight back to the UK, the stags are sent to a lawless prison island run by two warring siblings.
“Quickly it becomes clear that the stags need to pick a side to have any chance of survival. Friendships are tested and life-long loyalty is sacrificed as Stu and his mates begin to question who will make it home alive.”
BAFTA-winner David Kerr (Johnny English Strikes Again) is lead director, while Daniel Cullen (Breeders, Bad Sisters) is the series creator and co-executive producer.
The executive producers are Carissa Hope Lynch, Joel Wilson, Olivia Trench, and Jamie Campbell. Kerr also serves as executive producer across the series, with Farah Abushwesha serving as producer. Sony Pictures Television will distribute the series internationally.
Sebastian Cardwell, UK deputy chief content officer for Paramount, greenlit the series.
