Stan Taps Ya Boi Matt Okine To Write, Star In Series About His Cheating Ex

Local streaming service Stan has officially declared itself the David to Netflix‘s Goliath, ramping up its original offering with the commission of four killer local shows – including one from Triple J fave Matt Okine and the boys from Aunty Donna.

Matt’s commission is a semi-autobiographical show called The Other Guy, which follows a successful radio host who finds himself single for the first time in 10 years after discovering his long-term girlfriend has been having an affair with his best friend *cough cough, sound familiar, cough cough*. To make things even more complicated, she might be up the duff.
Not only will be write the series – alongside Becky Lucas and Greg Waters – but we get to see his mug on the big screen as the show’s lead.
Tbh this is almost as fire as the time a wax likeness of himself was burnt in Paris Hilton‘s House of Wax #neverforget.
As for the Aunty Donna boys, their show Chaperones is about three deadbeats put in charge of a child star. Which, if we’re honest, sounds like a cracker concept ripe for the dominating by their sordid sense of humour. 
Also planned are Merchants of Misery, a show about celebrity agents and gossip magazines, and All Thumbs, about three social outcasts looking for love, created by and starring Damon Herriman of Justified
