Pilot shot in the spring

Kevin Bridges is reportedly developing a comedy drama for Netflix.

The British Comedy Guide reports that the stand-up has written a pilot for a show called Somewhere On The Outskirts, which was filmed in spring.

It was directed by Andrew Chaplin – whose credits include Smoggie Queens – and produced by Joe Nunnery for The Reluctant Vampire programme-makers Boffola Pictures.

Neither Netflix nor Boffola commented on the project, but some of these involved have mentioned it on their CVs, including Scottish actor Cameron Jack.

Bridges, who grew up in Clydebank on the outskirts of Glasgow, has previously been in talks about adapting his 2022 novel, The Black Dog, for television, but this is understood to be a separate project.
