Humdrum Comedy’s Metro Sexual is set to be given a makeover, with filming on an expanded season to commence in Melbourne during June.
After premiering as an 8 x 10-minute series on 9Go! in 2019, and Canada’s OUTtv in 2020, the Lgbti sitcom will be broadened to comprise 6 x 30 minutes episodes for its second outing.
Shot in a mockumentary style, the series follows the lives of doctors Stephanie Huddleston (Geraldine Hickey) and Langdon Marsh (Riley Nottingham), who work at Metropolitan Sexual Health.
The upcoming storyline has the pair navigate an outbreak of sexually transmitted infections in Melbourne, forcing them to do whatever they can to get the crisis under control, while also juggling friendships, relationships with colleagues, and their love lives.
The cast also includes Ryan Shelton, Shabana Azeez, Urvi Majumdar, and Rebecca Massey, with more announcements soon.

‘Phi and Me’.
Screen Australia has provided almost $800,000 in production funding for five online projects, featuring talent such as Mark Grentell, Enzo Tedeschi, Rosie Lourde, Kristy Best, Geraldine Hickey and Diana Nguyen.
Online investment manager Lee Naimo said: “I’m excited to support such a wide range of original ideas in this slate, including Cloudy River presenting a contemporary perspective on relationships and Lgbtqi+ experiences, and Deadhouse Dark breaking the mould with a series of online horror films.”
“We have been impressed by the quality of the applications coming through and have started to see teams coming with fully formed pilots and very clear plans for producing and marketing their work.
