Rainmaker Content has secured global rights, except for the UK, to comedy series “Staged,” written and directed by Simon Evans and starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The show will be launching on BBC One today.  “We are thrilled that we can launch Rainmaker with such an exceptional series that really speaks of our time,”  Graham Begg, who together with Greg Phillips founded the new distribution company, said.

The six 22-minute episodes of “Staged” were produced by The Infinity Hill and GCB Films Production. The show features the cast of a play that was furloughed when their upcoming production was suddenly put on pause. The series follows the cast as they try their best to keep the rehearsals on track in lockdown. 

“Staged” was created during the lockdown, during on stage and off, with Tennant, from “Good Omens,” “Broadchurch,” “Doctor Who” and Michael Sheen “Good Omens,” “Masters of Sex,” “Frost/Nixon,” “Prodigal Son.” “I can think of no better pairs of hands to put our beloved show into than those of Greg Phillips and Graham Begg," said Staged producer Victor Glynn.

The series also has a line-up, which includes Georgia Tennant, Anna Lundberg, and Lucy Eaton, along with a few guest stars. “With stellar acting talent, alongside award-winning writing and production teams, this lockdown drama is funny, poignant and so relevant to now, wherever you are in the world," Begg said. "It is a clear indication of the caliber of programming that we intend to represent on the global stage as we build our business.”
