Buffering TV series preview
Welcome back to the hilarious world of Buffering, where life is anything but perfect for a group of twenty-somethings trying to figure it all out. Iain Stirling, the children’s TV presenter with a disdain for kids, is still navigating his up-and-down relationship with TV producer Olivia.
But he’s not alone in his struggles with his complicated relationship and career. Iain’s housemates Rosie (Jessie Cave), Greg (Paul G. Raymond), Ashley (Rosa Robson), and Thalia (Janine Harouni), alongside Ashley’s old flame Robbie, are all trying to make sense of their lives at an age when they’re too old for nightclubs but too poor for mortgages.
In Buffering Season 2, we’ll see the gang experience all sorts of cringe-worthy and hilarious moments as they continue to stumble through life.
From Iain accidentally getting involved in a throuple with an old friend to a scene where Greg naively enlists Thalia to help with sexting his girlfriend Ashley, the laughs never stop. And when Rosie hosts a pop-up art gallery at the house, things quickly spiral out of control when Thalia takes over and ropes Iain into being the mystery celebrity guest.
Meanwhile, Olivia drags Finn on a healing mission and Ashley attends a box-ercise class with Thalia, leading to a surprise invitation for Robbie.
Don’t miss out on the latest adventures of these relatable and hilarious characters in Buffering Season 2. With a star-studded cast that includes Jessie Cave, Rosa Robson, Janine Harouni, Sean Sagar, and Steve Bugeja, you’re in for a treat!
