Storyline for Still Up on Apple TV+

An impulsive and free-spirited aspiring illustrator whose questions over her daughter’s future start keeping her up at night, and the socially anxious yet gifted journalist Danny.

Still Up walks a familiar path of the will-they-won’t-they of two close friends who clearly have an underlying romantic chemistry as yet unrealised.

The differentiating quirk is that they’re both insomniacs, so spend a lot of time in each others lives when the world is asleep.

It’s not a secret friendship, so there’s no immediate jealous-partner dynamic.

A neat little set-up, given a boost by Apples strong production values.

The two leads give great performances.

Antonia and Craig both knock it out of the park.

The supporting cast are good, despite being asked to play intentionally annoying characters.

Along the way of expected back-firing advice and awkward misunderstandings, there are also moments of genuine heart, sold straight down the line with no cheesy feeling of breaking the tone of the show.

These are two people who laugh and cry with each other, and capture that sense of needing to speak to your special people on a regular basis.

The story begins one hot summer’s day when Leanne Wellings (Christine Tremarco) is taking her two young children to visit her grandfather.

She stops to buy flowers at a motorway layby, but then inexplicably vanishes, leaving her two small children waiting for her in her car, lost and far from home.

Her two small children then set off to find her, only to go missing as well.

Their ordeal is captured on CCTV cameras, and before long, the family’s heart-stopping trauma is not only a complex police investigation, but a major national news story.
