Philomena Cunk Returns with Cunk on Cinema for BBC and Netflix
The three-part mockumentary will track cinema’s history from the camera’s invention to AI, with BBC and Netflix distribution.
- Production began this week on 'Cunk on Cinema,' a three-part mockumentary series featuring actor Diane Morgan as satirical character Philomena Cunk, reuniting with writer Charlie Brooker to explore film history.
- Following successful projects 'Cunk on Earth' and 'Cunk on Britain,' the new series continues the mockumentary format; Pacesetter Productions describes it as Cunk's 'most glamorous series to date.'
- Cunk will interview experts on camera invention, 1960s New Wave filmmaking, CGI, and artificial intelligence's future impact on cinema. The show demystifies film history through her trademark deadpan questioning.
- The program airs on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in the UK and Ireland; Netflix handles global distribution, though no release date has been announced.
- In character, Morgan promised, 'we'll keep that to the barest minimum' regarding black and white segments. The actor previously appeared in the second season of 'Last One Laughing.
