Lunatics on Netflix: Trailer drops for Chris Lilley’s new show

The man who created Summer Heights High has released the trailer for his new show, Lunatics. And it’s as bizarre as you’d expect.

Chris Lilley is back!

The Aussie comedian behind Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes has just released the trailer for his new 10-part Netflix series, Lunatics, which will start streaming next Friday.

According to Netflix, the comedy documentary series will “examine the lives of six extraordinary individuals and will explore the idea that people are not what they seem at first”.

The extraordinary individuals Lilley will play in the show are:

• Keith, a fashion retail veteran embarking on a new business venture who struggles with objective sexuality issues and his deep love for a cash register.

• Becky, an extraordinarily tall university freshman embarking on life in an American college with her twin sister and dealing with social issues and life with massive legs.

• Jana, a lesbian pet psychic to the stars who from her South African home base struggles with an unrequited love for her personal assistant.

• Quentin, an incompetent real estate agent about to inherit a family business who dreams of being a world-renowned DJ and street artist.

• Joyce, an eccentric elderly ex-porn star and hoarder who is now a recluse who obsessively collects things while facing an impending eviction.
