How well do we ever really know our partner? That’s the question at the heart of this crafty comedy-drama, which follows married couple Jamie (Corden) and Amandine (Melia Kreiling) as they navigate the happily ever after. Combining the trappings of romantic comedy with the twists and turns of a whodunnit, the show deftly explores just how complicated long-term commitment can be. Best known for his comic performances, Corden is terrific in a more contained dramatic role, while Hawkins and Colin Morgan sparkle as Jamie’s sister and brother-in-law – a couple facing their own challenges. Butterworth’s (Jerusalem, Spectre) dexterous script is nimbly directed by Stephanie Laing, who has previously shown such a keen eye for gender dynamics in her work on Physical and Made for Love.
MAMMALS was co-created by Butterworth and James Richardson and will be produced by Street Hassle, which is operated by Butterworth as well as Vertigo Films and Corden’s Fulwell 73 for Amazon Studios.
MAMMALS was released worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on November 11 2022. Premiering at Number 1 in the UK after its big screen premiere at BFI London Film Festival.
