Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. It's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time. But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly-imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window...

Developed by 42 Productions and starring Jessica Brown-Findlay (Downton Abbey) and Anthony Welsh (Hanna, Fleabag) THE FLATSHARE comes to Paramount+ in the UK on December 1st and will be a six-part series. Head online to see the tantalising first trailer!

And after her ex’s house is broken into, Ruby realises nowhere and no one is safe.

There are still many faces left in that photo. Any one of them could be the next victim―and any one of them could be the killer. And with each death, the killer is getting closer to Ruby.
