Loaded press pack

Category: News Release

Four friends. Eleven and a half million problems.

Loaded centres around the lives of tech entrepreneurs and friends Josh, Leon, Watto and Ewan, who have just sold their start up videogame company for hundreds of millions of pounds – the culmination of a billion man-hours of blood, sweat, toil, coding, shouting, swearing, fighting, hugging, pitching, grinding, and, occasionally, showering. Overnight, the four 30-something friends are transformed from “people who play games” to “serious players in the game.” Amid a raging hurricane of money, excess and “millionaire’s guilt”, LOADED is about friendship, ambition, gluttony, the peculiar British distaste for other people’s success and how money can put even life-long friendships to the test.

Written by Jon Brown (Veep, Fresh Meat) Loaded (8x60’) is a co-production between AMC, Channel 4, Hillbilly Television and Keshet UK. Based on the award-wining Keshet International series Mesudarim created by Muli Segev and Assaf Harel. Ian Fitzgibbon (Moone Boy, Raised by Wolves) directs the first three episodes of the series. Executive producers are Kate Norrish and Polly Leys for BAFTA-winning Hillbilly Television (The Level, Random, Holy Flying Circus), Howard Burch, Avi Nir, Muli Segev and Assaf Harel for Keshet and Jon Brown. Charlie Leech (The Wrong Mans, The Aliens, Lovesick) is Producer. Roberto Troni and Lee Mason are Commissioning Editor and Commissioning Executive for Channel 4.
