Walkie-Talkie is a witty, semi-autobiographical digital comedy series that follows 24-year-old Katie as she grapples with what it means to be asexual in a world that places such a high value on sex. When all her friends start to prioritize their dating lives over their friendships, Katie embarks on a quest to meet and connect with new people in a non-traditional way: by hiding a walkie-talkie in a new place each week and then going on a walk with the person that finds it. Essentially, she sets herself up on platonic blind dates.
In the pilot, a young man named Adam picks up the walkie-talkie, and he and Katie connect immediately. Their relationship is the heart of the series. Importantly, this is NOT an “I thought I was asexual until I met the right person” story. Since there is no middle ground between having sex and not having sex, Walkie-Talkie explores their complicated relationship with empathy, nuance, and humor.
