Graham Begg, co-founder of Rainmaker Content, said, “Staged was a breath of fresh comedy air when it landed in the U.K. during lockdown. The obvious warm relationships enjoyed by all the actors involved coupled with the deft writing and direction makes for a light-hearted, humorous series that speaks to our time. We are very pleased to announce these first global sales with more to come.”
