LOS ANGELES | LONDON — OCTOBER 23, 2026 — RoseBerry Media’s epis, the vertical-first streaming service, and Banijay-backed Lime Pictures today announced that Make Me a Match, a new 60-episode epis Original romantic dramedy, will premiere globally Wednesday, October 28, exclusively on the app. Featuring reality television personality Chloe Veitch (Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, Perfect Match) in a special guest starring role, the cheeky, twist-filled new series follows a matchmaker whose most personal assignment sparks an unexpected forbidden romance, with epis also revealing the official key art today.
Alongside Veitch, the upcoming charmingly chaotic romantic dramedy features an ensemble cast starring Hayley Sheen (Boys from the Blackstuff, Hollyoaks), Liam Byrne, Matthew James-Bailey (Hollyoaks) and Love Island favorite Molly Grace Marsh, bringing together established scripted television talent and recognizable reality TV personalities for a deliciously scandalous new romance.
Set against the glamorous and fiercely competitive world of elite matchmaking, Make Me a Match follows ambitious dating expert Stevie Miller, whose carefully curated life begins to unravel when she takes on her most personal assignment yet: fulfilling her late best friend’s final wish by helping her grieving husband find love again.
But as Stevie guides Adam back into the dating world, an unexpected attraction threatens to upend everything — her career, her seemingly perfect relationship and her loyalty to the woman they both loved. With professional rivalries, buried feelings and scandalous secrets complicating the search for true love, Stevie must decide whether following her heart is worth risking everything she’s worked to build.
Blending sharp comedy, emotional romance and irresistible twists, Make Me a Match delivers a modern love story about grief, ambition, friendship and second chances, told through the fast-paced, cliffhanger-driven format of vertical television.
Directed by Lime Pictures Co-Head of Scripted, Kids & Family Angelo Abela (Zero Chill), and written by Clare Sumi (Hollyoaks), Make Me a Match is produced by Andonis Anthony, whose work spans television and narrative film, and Julia Carstairs, whose credits include Lime’s digital companion series Hollyoaks Unwrapped.
The series reunites RoseBerry Media with Lime Pictures, the acclaimed UK production company behind Channel 4’s long-running drama Hollyoaks, following their first original vertical co-production, Revenge Is a Dish. Blending forbidden romance, workplace rivalry and cliffhanger-driven storytelling, Make Me a Match builds on Lime’s expertise in character-driven drama while expanding epis’ slate of mobile-first originals.
“Our collaboration with Lime Pictures reflects our commitment to bringing television-quality storytelling to vertical audiences through partnerships with leading production companies,” said Guy Hameiri, Co-Founder & CEO of RoseBerry Media. “By pairing compelling stories with recognizable talent, we can tap into established fan communities, introduce audiences to new formats and expand the reach of both our talent and epis.”
Launched in 2026 by RoseBerry Media, epis features more than 100 titles, with 25+ original vertical productions planned for the year. Its growing slate includes Revenge Is a Dish, cartel romance Sinful Hearts, dating series Sexy Beasts and upcoming true crime productions Two Marys and The Swindler and the Billionaire Murder from Fremantle-backed Silvio Productions, the team behind Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife.
Make Me a Match premieres globally October 28, exclusively on epis.

MEET THE CAST
Chloe Veitch (Too Hot to Handle, The Circle & Perfect Match) has a special guest appearance in Make Me a Match, as one matchmaker Stevie’s lovelorn clients, and she proves to be quite the challenge when it comes to finding her a match!
Molly Grace Marsh (Love Island) stars as Elle, Stevie’s charming but calculating professional rival, whose determination to land a coveted promotion puts the two matchmakers on a collision course.
“I absolutely loved working on this project. It feels super fast paced and full of cliff hangers! Playing the role of Elle was everything I imagined, my inner Sharpay Evans got to shine through with all the excitement of playing a sneaky backstabbing diva!” said Molly Grace Marsh, who stars as Stevie’s fiercely competitive matchmaking rival, Elle.
Hayley Sheen (Boys from the Blackstuff, Hollyoaks) leads the cast as Stevie Miller, a headstrong and ambitious matchmaker determined to secure the promotion of her dreams. Sheen portrays a woman caught between professional ambition, personal loyalty and an unexpected chance at love.
“Stevie is the one telling this story, and I loved that she’s so driven but never loses her heart. She’ll do whatever it takes to get to the top, but she genuinely cares about the people around her. Finding that balance was such a gift to play,” said Sheen.
Liam Byrne (Cold Feet), stars as Adam, a successful law professor and widowed father struggling to rebuild his life following the death of his wife, Annie. Byrne takes on the role of a grieving husband whose tentative return to dating sparks an undeniable connection with the one woman he may never be able to have — his late wife’s best friend.
“I really enjoyed playing Adam in Make Me a Match. Being part of a vertical drama was a new experience for me, and I’m looking forward to audiences seeing the series,” said Liam Byrne.
Matthew James-Bailey (Hollyoaks, Cucumber, Soy Luna) plays Jeremy. In Make Me a Match, Jeremy’s seemingly perfect relationship with Stevie is tested as old feelings and new rivalries threaten their future together.
“I can’t wait for audiences to see this. It’s going to be a wild ride, full of some laughs, heart-in-your-mouth moments and, of course, DRAMA. Being part of a vertical series feels incredible. Being able to pioneer such an exciting art form with the ever-brilliant Lime Pictures and getting to work with epis for the first time,” said Bailey. “I’m so excited for everyone to meet Jeremy. He’s a bumbling fool most of the time, but he’s always just trying to do the right thing. I hope the public enjoys him as much as I enjoyed playing him.”
Kit Williams plays Sienna, a poised and ambitious young woman determined to build the secure future she never had.
Scott Coker (Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Doctors) portrays Garrett, the driven founder of the prestigious boutique matchmaking agency Foreverly, where professional ambitions and personal rivalries collide.
Christine Walsh (Coronation Street, Tin Star, Emmerdale) joins the cast as Mara, a match who will turn Adam’s head with her carefree exuberance for life.
Rebecca Campora rounds out the ensemble as Lilah, a date with a familiarity that takes Adam back to happier times, is she the warm hug he needs?
