Synopsis/Details
Out of Season is a single-camera sitcom about a team of boisterous lifeguards who were given the arduous task of protecting something that was never in danger.
Where having to look busy is met with a wicked smile and everyone wants to be a hero, but no one needs saving.
I want to mellow out "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", without taking away its edge and creativity. I want to give a warm heart to a team that shares the bond of an unlikely occupation and feels like an invisible underdog.
It's a personal show, coming from years of experience in the outdoor industry, where an uncanny balance is always struck between trying to one up each other and looking after what ultimately becomes your family.
CHARACTERS
Carla Fischer – Former Olympian, she was forced out of the German swimming team after losing an eye to a rogue paper plane (she had to serve a short jail sentence after attacking the kid who threw it). She's totally obsessed with health and safety.
Keelan Lloyd – The man who started it all: he decided to setup the winter team after his cat ran off into the sea. Firmly convinced to be doing God's work, he holds a dark secret: he doesn't know how to swim.
Max Wilson – Every company needs an IT guy and the lifeguard team definitely needed someone to keep an eye on the weather. Conspiracy theory enthusiast, he joined the team believing it was an under-cover program and he's still convinced Keelan works for the MI6.
Sebastian – Lifeguard by day, live streamer by day... Sebastian is determined to become a social media influencer and has no intention of leaving any moment of his life private. He became a lifeguard to bring more excitement to his vlogs, but after an infamous accident (he didn't pet a dog) he's attracted a passionate following of dog haters.
