A new independent Scottish comedy drama series set in Glasgow has launched on Amazon Prime Video.
'Weegies' follows the lives of Steve and George, two hapless, aspiring actors struggling for their big break, whilst navigating through modern life in Glasgow with their hopeless friends.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, production on Weegies Series 1 was successfully completed in early 2021 with the first two episodes premiering to a sell-out audience at Glasgow east end venue St Lukes.
The show has been described as a cross between Still Game and Extras and consists of five, twenty-five minute episodes, all independently produced and filmed with Landing Light studios and now streaming exclusively for free on Prime Video.

Director Graeme Watt said of 'Weegies': "The show celebrates what it is to be a young person living in Scotland and does not revolve around any stereotypes but proudly represents the multicultural, friendly and inclusive nature of a wonderful city.
"Glasgow is the backdrop for a show that is focused on character, relationships and patter."
