Channel 4

Four tech entrepreneur friends try to get to grips with their new found success, after their videogame company earns them a staggering £246 million in Channel 4’s brand new comedy.

Starring Samuel Anderson, Johnny Sweet, Jim Howick and Nick Helm, the new show explores how the friends cope with their sudden change in status.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new show:

What’s it about?

Written by Jon Brown (Fresh Meat, Peep Show, Misfits), the series follows tech entrepreneurs Josh, Leon, Ewan and Watto who sell their start-up Idyl Hands in a multi-million pound deal.

Initially thrilled at the prospect of having so much money at their disposal, the group’s friendships quickly begin to struggle under the weight of their new-found wealth.

Sensitive Josh is soon riddled with guilt, Leon lets his desires get the better of him buying a bespoke golden Viking helmet, ex-junkie Watto’s past mistakes come back to haunt him and Ewan spends some his cash on reinventing himself.

The new show is created in partnership with US broadcaster AMC, who Channel 4 previously worked with on the dystopian drama Humans.

Who’s in the cast?

Original History Boy Anderson plays style-conscious Leon, Sweet (Babylon and Plebs) is awkward introvert-turned-alpha-male Ewan, Helm (Uncle and The Girl in the Dress) is eccentric and artistic Watto, while Howick (Broadchurch) is the group’s moral compass Josh.

Mary McCormack supports as ruthless and forthright Casey, Vice President of Acquisitions at the parent company that has bought Idyl Hands.

When’s it on?

Loaded will air on Channel 4 at 10pm tonight.
