Slip

From Thursday 8 August, ITVX

A dissatisfied New Yorker must work out what she really needs from life as she moves through parallel universes in offbeat comedy drama Slip.

ITVX’s seven-part series is created and directed by Zoe Lister-Jones, who also stars as Mae, a museum curator struggling to keep the spark alive in her humdrum marriage to writer Elijah (Whitmer Thomas).

NEW LIFE

When Mae has a one-night stand with charismatic musician Eric (Amar Chadha-Patel), however, she awakens to discover that she is now Eric’s troubled wife and her former life never existed.
