Benefits
What is the plot of Truelove (2024 series)?
Five older friends Phil, Ken, Tom, Marion, and David reunite at a funeral. With the growing possibility of their days becoming more and more numbered, the group comes up with an idea that they all thought to be brilliant – help each other die when the time comes. This way, they get to choose how they go and spare themselves from further pain.
Their idea is made feasible by the fact that Phil is a former police officer, David a former doctor, and Ken a former SAS, meaning they have access to resources should they go ahead with the plan. Making this promise to each other, the friends toast to “true love”.
When one of them receives a terminal cancer diagnosis and another starts showing signs of dementia, the rest of the group prepare for what they promised to deliver. But what started as a wonderful idea becomes tainted with a shocking reality.
Complications also arise when, former teenage sweethearts Phil and Ken, decide to rekindle their romance despite the fact that Phil is married.
This new drama from the UK’s Channel 4 is created by Charlie Covell and Iain Weatherby and directed by Chloë Wicks and Carl Tibbetts. It first premiered in the UK last January; after three months, the series finally hits Australian screens starting April 7!
