LEONARD & HUNGRY PAUL, narrated by Oscar-winner Julia Roberts, is a heartwarming story about kindness, first loves and the expansion of the universe.
Julia’s warmth, wit, and iconic voice bring a unique magic to this feel good comedy drama series, which tells the tender and humorous story of Leonard (Alex Lawther, The End of the Fcking World, Alien: Earth) an imaginative book editor, and his best friend, Hungry Paul (Laurie Kynaston, Sandman).
The unexpected death of Leonard’s mother, the fast approaching wedding of Hungry Paul’s sister and the spark of a new romance for Leonard with Shelley (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, Derry Girls), prompts both men to step into a world full of possibilities and expanding horizons.
