🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Starring Kym Marsh (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Abigail’s Party) and Lisa Faulkner (Holby City, Murder In Suburbia, John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen), this gripping new adaptation throws you into a world where trust is fragile, friendships are tested, and secrets lurk behind every closed door.

But as their lives become more entwined, boundaries blur and the arrangement begins to unravel in unsettling ways.

From the producer of the hit stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Single White Female promises dark humour, stiletto-sharp suspense and plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments.
