Starz has acquired North American rights in the U.S. and Canada to “Tip Toe,” a drama series created by Russell T Davies. All outlets report that the show is produced by Quay Street Productions, a company associated with ITV Studios. “Tip Toe” is described as an LGBTQ+ drama that premiered in the UK on Channel 4 and is now set to arrive stateside through Starz.
The series stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as two neighboring men whose relationship is framed as adversarial. Cumming plays Leo and Morrissey plays Clive. Multiple reports characterize the series as exploring corrosive or damaging pressures facing LGBTQ+ communities.
Starz’s acquisition is described as an exclusive deal for the U.S. and Canada. The five-part series is expected to premiere later this year in North America, though specific dates were not included in the provided summaries.
