Overview
Pillow Talk is a Canadian TV series, which premiered on Crave on February 10, 2022. A sketch comedy series about adult relationships, the series centres on four couples (three heterosexual and one gay) and a pair of platonic roommates, each exploring comedic interpersonal situations through conversations taking place almost entirely in their bedrooms. Despite being set in bedrooms, however, the conversations are not necessarily always sexual in nature, but simply reflect the fact that couples often discuss or argue about almost any aspect of their lives in that part of their home.
The series is an adaptation of Entre deux draps ("Between Two Sheets"), a French-language series which premiered in January 2021 on Noovo.
Entre deux draps
Entre deux draps premiered on Noovo in January 2021, as one of the network's first new original scripted programs since its acquisition by Bell Media. The cast includes Pier-Luc Funk and Virginie Ranger-Beauregard as Antoine and Lydia; François Papineau and Bénédicte Décary as Luc and Marie-Ève; Guillaume Girard and Karine Gonthier-Hyndman as Marco and Virginie; Simon Pigeon and Antoine Pilon as Jean-Pascal and Simon; and Fayolle Jean Jr. and Mathieu Pepper as roommates Valère and Thomas. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, the producers primarily cast actors who already live together as couples or roommates in real life, so that the series could be filmed without violating social distancing restrictions; producer Louis Morissette noted that the casting of roommates Simon Pigeon and Antoine Pilon as the gay couple took place only after the show was unsuccessful in finding a real gay actor couple who were willing to be fully out on camera. Gonthier-Hyndman also later clarified in an interview that she and Girard were no longer still together as a couple.
Florence Pilote, the daughter of actress Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin, also has a supporting role in the series as the young daughter of Marco and Virginie, and Micheline Bernard and Martin Drainville have supporting roles as Thomas's parents, whom the producers have announced will be given more prominent roles in the second season.
