In Kate and Koji Blethyn will take on the title role of Kate alongside film actor Jimmy Akingbola taking on the role of Koji.
Kate and Koji centres around a working-class woman who runs an old-fashioned café in a neglected seaside town and who develops a strong, if sometimes volatile, friendship with an asylum-seeking African doctor. Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison is also in the cast.
It is written by Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, who will also supervise a trainee writer under the Comedy 50:50 scheme.
Jimmy Mulville, Managing Director at Hat Trick Productions said at the time the new six-part studio sitcom was announced: “ITV is the perfect home for Kate and Koji, written by two of the country’s top writers and with two great actors like Brenda and Jimmy, it’s a wonderfully funny and sometimes touching comedy about real people coping with life at the sharp end."
Saskia Schuster, ITV's Comedy Controller, said: "Brenda and Jimmy head up a fantastic cast and we have six brilliantly written scripts."
Filming will take place at Elstree Studios on January 23, 24, 31 and February 7, 14, 21 & 28. Apply for tickets here – click on the 'current shows' menu.
