DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, June 2026) STARZ has acquired the exclusive U.S. and English Canada rights to "Tip Toe," a darkly witty yet harrowing and explosive thriller from BAFTA award-winning writer Russell T Davies ("It's a Sin," "Queer as Folk") that explores the most corrosive forces facing the LGBTQ+ community today. Starring Alan Cumming ("The Traitors") and David Morrissey ("Sherwood") as warring neighbors, the five-part series will premiere exclusively on STARZ later this year. "Tip Toe" was commissioned by U.K. Broadcaster Channel 4 from Quay Street Productions, part of ITV Studios and recently premiered in the U.K. to critical acclaim and unanimous praise for its performances and storytelling. Radio Times proclaims "Tip Toe" "an urgent state-of-the-nation drama" and The Times raves it's "Russell T Davies at his crusading, passionate best." Leo (Cumming) and Clive (Morrissey) have lived next door to each other in Manchester for almost 15 years. Leo runs Spit & Polish, a bar on Canal Street and Clive is an electrician with two teenage sons. But just as life should be settling down for both, the world around them is growing more tense. Words become weapons, opinions become radicalized and gradually the two neighbors become deadly enemies in a tense, thrilling drama that spotlights the prejudices that have started to creep back into our lives, in a story that speaks not just to the queer community, but to the world at large. |
