Comedy Henpocalypse! Starts filming in Wirral and Snowdonia

Filming is underway in Wirral and Snowdonia on new BBC Two comedy Henpocalypse! from writer Caroline Moran. Â
Â
Various Artists Limited (VAL) is producing the 6 x 30 comedy, that stars Elizabeth Berrington, Lucie Shorthouse, Lauren O’Rourke, Callie Cooke and Kate O’Flynn.Â
Â
Shorthouse plays bridezilla Zara, whose hen do is rudely interrupted – by the apocalypse. She and her fellow West Midlander hens struggle to survive as they wait out the breakdown of human civilisation in a remote holiday cottage in Wales.Â
Â
Writer Moran said: “This is a dream cast, the locations are epic, the apocalypse has never been so much fun.”
Â
The executive producers are Phil Clarke, Helen Williams, Jack Bayles and Roberto Troni. VAL is part of BBC Studios’ portfolio of invested indie production companies with whom they hold a minority share.Â
Â
Jon Petrie, director of comedy commissioning at the BBC, said: “It’s no surprise that Caz’s inventive scripts have attracted such a top cast. Her post-apocalyptic vision is both terrifying and utterly hilarious. We can’t wait to see it all come together.”
