The Lovers 2023

Foul-mouthed supermarket worker, Janet meets urbane, political broadcaster Seamus in this Sky Original comedy-drama. They instantly clash – and yet somehow, they find themselves puzzlingly drawn to one another. The Lovers is a romantic, funny, fight-y love story about two people who appear to be utterly wrong for each other – yet may just be utterly right.
