What happens when reality television finally gets 'real'?
TWENTY TWO / 7 is a seven by thirty-minute episode television series featuring an on-going storyline, extending over three seasons as the story traces the eventual downfall of the Network.
A darkly comic tale set sometime in the very near future - in a stark world of decaying ‘Orwellian’ hues, TWENTY TWO / 7 asks how far a highly-strung and desperate television producer will go to ensure not just his own survival, but that of the Network he has so faithfully served. In this sense, TWENTY TWO / 7 echoes themes explored in Lifetime's UNREAL as it examines the boundaries content creators will push in order to satiate the platform's they serve, along with an increasingly desensitised audience hungry for new material.
In doing so TWENTY TWO / 7 navigates waters at once bleak and hilarious, as what could surely never happen - in fact does. And it happens as the world watches - on prime time.
And finally, taking its inspiration from stories such as THE TRUMAN SHOW - and drawing on tales from notorious asylums such as Bedlam, UK - TWENTY TWO / 7 asks, 'who really is insane'?
Maybe it’s all of us after all.
TWENTY TWO / 7 Real life. Real people. Real blood.
