· The special three-episode second season of Max Original I HATE SUZIE TOO debuts THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22 on HBO Max. Called a "masterclass" by Vanity Fair and a "vital" narrative by Rolling Stone, the first season of the British dramedy is currently available to stream on HBO Max.
· Synopsis: Child star turned actress Suzie Pickles (Billie Piper) has a new agent, new PR and a new job - dancing for likes on "Dance Crazee," a reality TV competition that has the Saturday night audience hooked. Having lost everyone that matters to her, Suzie returns to her first love - the public. Battling ex-husband Cob (Daniel Ings) with the help of best friend Naomi (Leila Farzad), Suzie must try to keep life as stable as possible for her young son Frank (Matthew Jordan-Caws), all whilst staying on 'Dance Crazee' long enough to finance her new role as single mom and ex-wife. In this three-part anti-Christmas Christmas special, Suzie fights to regain the love of the British public whilst her personal life spirals out of control. Will she win the hearts of the British public? And restore her reputation? And at what cost?
· Credits: Written by Lucy Prebble and co-created with Billie Piper, who also stars, the series is produced by Bad Wolf in association with Sky Studios. Executive Producers are Andrea Dewsbery, with Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter for Bad Wolf, alongside Piper and Prebble. Dawn Shadforth directed the three episodes.
· I HATE SUZIE TOO will be available on Sky Atlantic in the UK and Ireland on December 20, with NBCUniversal Global Distribution handling international sales on behalf of Sky Studios.

HBO Max announced today that original dramedy I Hate Suzie will stream exclusively in the U.S. on the platform. The series follows an actress whose life is thrown into turmoil when her phone is hacked and extremely compromising photographs of her are leaked. I Hate Suzie is co-created by BAFTA nominee Billie Piper (Collateral, Doctor Who), who also leads the cast, and by Emmy(R) winner and critically acclaimed writer of the series Lucy Prebble (Succession, Enron). I Hate Suzie is a bold, bracing, original dramedy about the moment in life when the mask slips, asking if any of us can survive being well and truly 'known'. Suzie Pickles (Piper), has her life upended when she is hacked and pictures of her emerge in an extremely compromising position. The eight-part series shows her unraveling as the event ricochets around every area of her life. Episode by episode, we follow her through the stages of shock, denial, fear, shame, bargaining, guilt, anger and acceptance as Suzie and her best friend and manager Naomi, played by Leila Farzad (Innocent, Twenty Twelve), try to hold her life, career and marriage together. The cast also includes Daniel Ings (Lovesick, The Crown) and Nathaniel Martello-White (Collateral, Guerilla).
