Alice And Jack is a 2026 British drama-comedy-romance series directed by Tom Kingsley, following a sharp-witted woman whose carefully ordered world fractures when her closest friend falls for her adult daughter — setting off a collision of loyalty, love, and thoroughly awkward family dynamics.
What is Alice And Jack about?
Alice has built her life around a tight circle she trusts completely, and nobody belongs to that circle more than her best friend Steve. When Steve begins a relationship with Alice's twenty-six-year-old daughter Izzy, Alice faces the prospect of losing two of the most important people in her life simultaneously. Determined not to let that happen, she launches a campaign to untangle the pair — only to find that Steve has anticipated every move. What starts as private maneuvering quickly escalates into an open, comically high-stakes standoff between two people who know each other far too well to play nice. The series walks a careful line between warm-hearted comedy and genuinely felt emotional tension, letting neither genre overwhelm the other.
Cast & crew
Nicola Walker leads as Alice, bringing the grounded naturalism she has become known for across a long career in prestige British television. Jemaine Clement plays Steve with a dry, unhurried charm, and Yali Topol Margalith takes on the pivotal role of Izzy. Joel Fry, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher, Ebony Aboagye, and Sam Chapman round out a well-assembled ensemble. Tom Kingsley directs all episodes.
Context & significance
British dramedy has long found a devoted audience among Persian-speaking viewers abroad who appreciate understated humour, emotionally honest writing, and ensemble casts that feel genuinely lived-in. Alice And Jack fits squarely in that tradition — a short-episode format (thirty minutes each) that makes it easy to watch across a busy week, and a central conflict rooted in the universal friction between friendship, parenthood, and romantic love. For diaspora viewers who grew up navigating multiple loyalties and generational expectations, Alice's predicament carries an extra layer of resonance. The series is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to follow in your native language or toggle between the original and dubbed audio.
