Amazon adds BBC3 Fringe comedy

Amazon Prime Video has added a comedy-drama from Broadchurch actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge to its line-up.

Fleabag is an adaptation of Waller-Bridge’s play of the same name, which won an Edinburgh Fringe First Award in 2013. It is produced by Two Brothers Pictures and stars fellow Broadchrch actress Olivia Colman and Hugh Dennis.

The six-part series, originally commissioned by BBC3 in the UK, follows a dry-witted, angry, cash-strapped, grief-riddled, porn-watching young woman trying to come to terms with a recent tragedy.

Amazon will premiere the series, sold globally by All3Media International, on Prime Video in the US this fall.

Earlier this week, the company announced it will show forthcoming TV series Preacher in the UK, Austria, Germany and Japan following a deal with Sony Pictures Television.
