Over the past couple of months, Waters-Massey has been pushing to grow the audience and has just signed a deal with a media agency called Escapade Media.

“We now have the rights to sell world wide ... so we could make it on American or English TV services,” Water-Massey says. “They are going to try to sell season one, and hopefully that will lead to us filming season two.” Although it is still early days, WaterMasse­y has already started writing the second season.

“I’m writing 20-minute-long episodes,” she said adding some were on different themes. “We would love to have some more big names. Perez Hilton told us to come over and film an episode with him. I told him that’d be ‘totes cool’.”
