Third Wheel Material is a weirdly sweet comedy that follows three best friends; a couple, Tanya and Darren, and their reluctant third wheel Avery. The three friends each navigate their own personal journeys through self-discovery, acceptance, and the absurdity of life.

Our show pays homage to the great Black sitcoms of the past but has a modern look and feel. It's a joyous celebration of Blackness, friendship, and of course...love.
