Yesterday (March 23rd, 2022), Roku announced that a brand new series will be starting production next month (April, 2022) in Toronto, Canada.
Roku houses thousands of shows and movies, including their own Original content such as Reno 911! Defunded and Doomlands, and will be welcoming a new show to its roster in the near future.
The show should begin production in April, and will span seven episodes. It will be available, once released, on The Roku Channel in both the U.S. and Canada.
Slip stars Zoe Lister-Jones, who also created and wrote the upcoming series. Slip will follow the story of Mae Cannon (Lister-Jones), a 30-something wife who finds herself restless inside her marriage, which is actually pretty perfect.
The series is set to follow Mae through a wonderous adventure of parallel universes; she will enter new and exciting relationships, and attempt to find her way back to her loving partner and, eventually, herself.
Slip is, as well as being another Roku Original, a first for TeaTime Pictures, a production company founded by Dakota Johnson (50 Shades franchise) that looks to the eternal romance of art in escapism.
Katie O’Connell from TeaTime Pictures has said that “Zoe is singular in her ability to tell a twisted, hilarious and unexpected love story. We are so happy to be partnered with Zoe, The Roku Channel and Boat Rocker on our first Original series.”
Head of Scripted Originals at Roku, Colin Davis, commented that "Zoe Lister-Jones has written a truly fantastic show with Slip. It was so easy to say yes to this project and we are thrilled to partner with Boat Rocker and TeaTime Pictures to bring 'SLIP’ to The Roku Channel.”
This isn’t Lister-Jones' first rodeo, however; she has also worked on How It Ends for A24, and previously wrote, directed and filmed The Craft: Legacy, which was nominated for a 2021 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film – Wide Release.
While there is no information as of yet regarding a release date for Slip, Roku users can get excited for the upcoming show, which seems to be a thrilling experience.
