Watch the twisted comedy Laid as it premieres on BINGE and Foxtel, 19 December.

The official teaser has dropped for Laid, the latest dark romantic comedy coming to BINGE and Foxtel. Created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, the series will premiere on BINGE with all eight episodes available for streaming from 19 December, while Foxtel’s Showcase will air the series on 20 December at 8:30 pm.

Adapted from the classic original Australian show created by Marieke Hardy and Kirsty Fisher and produced by Liz Watts, Laid offers a uniquely twisted approach to romance and self-reflection. The storyline follows a woman who learns her former lovers are meeting bizarre, untimely deaths.

This grim discovery compels her to confront her own past relationships in hopes of breaking the morbid cycle, and perhaps, finding some long-awaited self-understanding. The series has been described as a “f*cked-up rom-com,” tackling questions of self-worth and romantic dysfunction with sharp humour.

When faced with the question, “Why can’t I find love? Is something wrong with me?” Laid answers with a definitive and humorous “Yes.”

Leading the cast is Stephanie Hsu, joined by Zosia Mamet, Michael Angarano, and Tommy Martinez. The show also boasts appearances by Andre Hyland, Olivia Holt, David Denman, Finneas O’Connell, Chloe Fineman, Ettore “Big E” Ewen, and John Early.

In addition to Khan and Bradford McKenna, who serve as co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers, the series also counts Stephanie Hsu, John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment, Jennifer Carreras for Fierce Baby, and original creators Hardy, Fisher, and Watts from Porchlight Films as executive producers. Universal Television, part of Universal Studio Group, produces the show in association with All3Media International.

With its unique mix of humour and existential pondering, Laid is set to resonate with audiences seeking a fresh take on the rom-com genre. The full season will be available on BINGE from 19 December, with weekly broadcasts commencing on Foxtel from 20 December.

Laid on BINGE premieres on Thursday 19 December on BINGE, and Friday 20 November at 830pm on Foxtel’s Showcase channel and is available via Foxtel On Demand.
