Alan Cumming warily confronts a homophobic neighbor in the Tip Toe trailer
The series from Doctor Who 's Russell T. Davies explores the effects of social media-driven anti-LGBTQ hate.
In the trailer for the British psychological thriller series Tip Toe, Alan Cumming's character Leo, a gay bar owner in London, and David Morrissey's character Clive, Clive, a stern electrician father of two teenage boys who have lived next door peacefully for 15 years, experience an uneasy coexistence. The series premiere on Starz on October 2, starring Jackson Connor, Elizabeth Berrington, Denise Welch, Iz Hesketh, Shakeel Kimotho, and Paul Rhys, delves into the strained relationship between the neighbors as Clive starts doubting his son's orientation, leading him on a dangerous journey through social media hate that could potentially escalate to violence.
Encouraged by his homophobic wife Pooky Quesnel and fueled by relentless internet trolls, Clive and Leo appear on a collision course with each other. The series, which premiered in England in May, has been met with widespread acclaim in the UK and is set to make a significant impact in the US as anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments continue to rise amidst right-wing political climate.
