Get ready for a hilarious and insightful look at relationships as Disney+ and Hulu are set to release the six-part series 'Mosquito'. This comedy series, penned by acclaimed screenwriter Tony McNamara, is a fresh take on the dynamics of a young couple, Kate and Ed, whose marriage is tested by the revelation of hidden secrets. The stars of this show are none other than the talented duo, Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones, who are no strangers to success with their recent roles in 'Superman' and 'Twisters'.
But here's where it gets intriguing: the story begins with an unexpected twist, an intrusive mosquito, which sets the tone for the couple's journey of self-discovery. As the series unfolds, the audience will witness the couple's struggle to maintain their carefully crafted personas as daily life and secrets threaten to unravel their relationship. It's a unique blend of humor and drama, offering a sardonic perspective on the challenges of married life.
McNamara, who also serves as an executive producer, expresses his excitement about the project, stating, 'I'm thrilled to collaborate with these exceptional actors and create absurd comedy that will captivate audiences.' The writer's previous works, such as 'The Great' and 'Poor Things', have showcased his talent for weaving complex narratives with dark humor, and 'Mosquito' promises to be another masterpiece in his repertoire.
Disney Television's Eric Schrier and Disney+ head of content for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Angela Jain, shared their enthusiasm for the series, praising McNamara's exceptional writing skills and his ability to bring intricate stories to life. They believe that 'Mosquito' will not only entertain but also reinforce Disney's commitment to original content in the U.K. market.
The series is produced by 20th Television, Piggy Ate Roast Beef Productions, and Hustle & Punch, with a stellar team of executive producers, including McNamara, Hoult, Edgar-Jones, Marian Macgowan, Tracy Underwood, and Daniel Pipski. With filming set to begin in 2026, audiences worldwide will soon be able to stream 'Mosquito' on Disney+ and Hulu, offering a unique and captivating relationship comedy experience.
