Project name: Red Herring – TV pilot proof of concept

Description

The turnaround on this project is going to be very quick as the core production team is moving on to long-term projects within the next five weeks. All roles are open to ethnicity.


Nicholas — 30s, male-presenting. Flirty, flops upwards, wouldn’t know an insult if it smacked him in the face. Self-absorbed. Jake Peralta but bitchy rather than charming.

Danny — 18, male-presenting. English. Mousey, giving major Michael Cera vibes. Every day is his first day at work.

Siobhan — 18–20, female-presenting / non-binary. Scheme-chic. Ditzy but dead, pure loveable. Hard exterior but a big softy at heart. Ultimate Cancer energy.

Goose — Non-binary. Chaotic neutral. Does things for the plot. Casual, nonchalant. Trauma with a straight face. Conor/Niamh from London Irish vibes.

Nadia — Late 20s / early 30s, female-presenting. Sarcastic, grounded. Very Rosa Diaz coded. Ultimate cool girl with an endless supply of leather jackets.
