Jez Butterworth's Mammals in production at Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime Video has started production on a new series, which will be called Mammals. James Corden (Gavin & Stacey) will be part of the cast. Mammals has been written by Jez Butterworth (Britannia). She created the series alongside James Richardson (Bulletproof). Stephanie Laing (Made for Love) has directed the episodes, of which there will be six. Production is set to begin later this month.

There isn't a whole lot known about the plot of the series, but Butterworth has said the following: “A good marriage is the most magical thing. In a world of eight billion, you’ve found the one who gets you, ignites your body and soul. Who allows you to grow and flourish. Who gives you the spark, the confidence to become you. You’re also never going to have sex with anyone else, ever, and then you’re going to die, and be dead forever”.

The lead cast consists of James Corden (Gavin & Stacey), Sally Hawkins (Little Britain), Melia Kreiling (Filthy Rich (US)), Colin Morgan (Humans), Henry Lloyd-Hughes (Killing Eve) and Samuel Anderson (Witless).
