‘Rain Dogs’ Creator Cash Carraway Signs With CAA (EXCLUSIVE)
14.06.2024 - 13:53 / variety.com
Alex Ritman CAA has signed Cash Carraway, the Irish-English writer, director and exec producer best known for creating the HBO series “Rain Dogs.” Carraway’s first TV production, “Rain Dogs” — a bleak British dramedy about an unconventional relationship between a working-class single mother, her young daughter and a privileged gay man — was met with critical acclaim when it aired in March 2023. The eight-part series starred Daisy May Cooper, Jack Farthing, Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo and Fleur Tashjian, and later earned a Gotham Award nomination for best breakthrough series, while Carraway was named a BAFTA Breakthrough.
Prior to working in TV, Carraway wrote “Skint Estate,” a darkly comic memoir chronicling her life as a single mother navigating impoverishment, loneliness and violence in austerity Britain, which was published by Penguin Random House in 2019. Ken Loach described it as “extraordinary,” adding that it “bursts with energy, wit and anger.” Carraway’s writing has been likened to that of Charles Bukowski, with Time magazine pitching it as “Raunchy gallows humor.
And she’s genius at it.” “Killing Eve” producer Sid Gentle Films acquired rights to “Skint Estate” in 2020, with the series put into development at the BBC and Billie Piper attached to play Carraway. However, Carraway — who had been working on the screenplay — later left the project and it stalled.
In 2023, Carraway announced three new projects in an interview with the British Comedy Guide. Among them were a sitcom entitled “Big Shot” for Boffola Pictures, a comedy drama called “Reserve List” for the All3Media-owned Objective Fiction (best known for producing “Peep Show”) and a feature film with Colin Callender’s Playground Entertainment.
