“We are thrilled to be working with the brilliant Helen Walsh and World Productions on this exciting series; which forms part of our strategy to commission drama which also appeals to younger viewers,” said Caroline Hollick, Head of Drama, Channel 4.
“Through this absorbing story, with Helen’s beautifully drawn, real, and relatable characters, the series looks at how family, friendship, and aspiration is influenced and shaped by the highs and lows of modern-day parenting. Exploring relevant and urgent themes around what it means to be a teenager, as well as a parent today,is cleverly wrapped up in a compelling ‘whodunnit’ thriller, where the stakes are upped episode after episode.
The show will center on Kelly, the series’ main protagonist and the victim of an attack, who straddles the very different worlds of two groups of teens portrayed in the series. Kelly is an accomplished tumbling gymnast, well on the pathway to Team GB but at odds with her teammates and their ultra-competitive parents.

I’m thrilled to be working with the excellent team at Channel 4 and World Productions and look forward to seeing the kinetic worlds of free-running and tumbling gymnastics brought to our screens.
World Productions Creative Director Simon Heath said: “We’re thrilled to be back on Channel 4, working with Caroline, Gwawr and their team to bring Helen’s brilliant scripts to the screen next year. Through the unfolding whodunnit of a violent assault at a teenage party, Helen unpacks the secret lives of teenagers and their dysfunctional modern parents.”
