Nick Frost is set to star in a new sitcom called Transaction, which is based in a supermarket. The show, scheduled to air on ITVX in 2025, is a comedy series inspired by a series of popular shorts created by transgender comedian and singer Jordan Gray in 2020. In the sitcom, Frost will play the role of Simon, a manager at the supermarket who hires the character Liv, played by Jordan Gray. Liv, a transgender egomaniac, causes chaos with her co-workers on the nightshift.
The premise of the show revolves around Liv being hired by Simon after he inadvertently offends the LGBTQ+ community with a marketing campaign. Liv quickly realizes that she is unsackable and decides to turn the supermarket into her personal playground, creating havoc for everyone around her. The producers have described Transaction as a colorful and noisy comedy, promising an entertaining and chaotic series for viewers.
Jordan Gray, known for her appearance on The Voice UK in 2016, expressed her excitement about the show, stating that her goal is to create something as timeless as her implants. Describing her character as ‘a manipulative but charismatic a**hole and basically me without any self-awareness’, Gray’s creative vision for the series is sure to bring a unique and comedic element to the show.
The six-part series is being produced by Stolen Picture, the production company founded by Nick Frost and his longtime collaborator Simon Pegg. Alongside Frost and Gray, the cast of Transaction includes talented actors like Doon Mackichan and Francesca Mills, adding depth and diversity to the ensemble.
With its quirky premise and talented cast, Transaction is poised to deliver a fresh and entertaining take on the classic sitcom format. Viewers can look forward to a mix of humor, chaos, and heartwarming moments as the characters navigate their way through the ups and downs of life on the nightshift at the supermarket. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series!
