Starring Lachy Mcintyre, a social media influencer, whose videos have cracked over 34 million likes on TikTok, and Tal Hymans from the film The Haunting at Saint Joseph, which premiered over in the US earlier this year. Fan favourite Sophie Dillman, who played Ziggy on Home and Away also
makes a cameo in two episodes.
Since dropping on TikTok last week, the show has already gained over 150k views on TikTok alone, with a unique fan base beginning to form.
“@leahcate87: I can’t stop watching despite the fact this makes me uncomfortable in a Round The Twist kind of way.”
The series was directed by Grace Julia and created and written by Nikki Brown whose digital series Let’s Get Ducking Famous dropped on TikTok earlier this year.
The 6 part series follows Ellie, who after struggling to find a rental in Sydney, finally moves into an apartment with Johnny. The downside? His girlfriend is a worm. Molly (the worm girlfriend) isn’t a fan of Ellie and begins leaving her threatening messages.
“Filming this was a lot of fun, but very tiring, I was actually eight months pregnant when we filmed this over the two days in April. I told my directing partner Grace that I wanted to make a show before the baby came. She was so supportive and helped me pull the show together in a short amount of time.”
