About this show
In Written Off, Phil Deed and Sal Powers have typed themselves into a difficult corner. Phil is a best-selling romantic novelist, brilliantly marketed to Gen Z by his bulletproof agent / publicist, Sal. Together, they’ve forged a life-affirming genre for the social media age – and accidentally become emotionally entangled in the process. But Phil's grown to despise the saccharin-sweet characters that have made them a fortune, and wants to take the genre to an altogether darker place. This new comedy-drama explores a creative partnership, where head and heart are pulled in drastically different directions.
