Dead Pixels Series 1 - First Launched on E4 Thursday 28th March 2019 and Wednesday 19th August 2020 on The CW Network.  All Episodes are available on All4 in the UK.

What’s more important – going out with your best friend, or defending Castle Blackfinger from marauding orcs? 

Twentysomething friends Meg (Alexa Davies), Nicky (Will Merrick) and Usman (Sargon Yelda) are all committed players of Kingdom Scrolls, a magical, online world of wizards, orcs and wyverns. Meg doesn’t fancy Nicky. Nicky definitely doesn’t fancy Meg. Nothing will ever happen between them, IRL or in Kingdom Scrolls. And why would they bother, when they have Red Spawn and their leader, Hive Mother, to defeat?

Part live action, part computer game, Dead Pixels is a ground-breaking comedy about love, avatars and why you should never try to groom an animated horse.

Dead Pixels Series 2 aired on E4 Tuesday 26th January. 

Dead Pixels series two sees the arrival of a new instalment of Kingdom Scrolls for our gaming fanatics. But their excitement is quickly quashed when they discover that the game, they love so much has been commercialised and overrun by a younger generation of players. Meg starts to wonder whether it’s time for her to grow up and move on, Usman goes to increasing extremes to hide his gaming from his wife and Nicky falls for a girl online who he invites to come and stay. Which definitely doesn’t cause any issues between him and Meg, because they definitely don’t have feelings for each other.
