CAA has signed Cash Carraway, the Irish-English writer, director and exec producer best known for creating the HBO series “Rain Dogs.”
Carraway’s first TV production, “Rain Dogs” — a bleak British dramedy about an unconventional relationship between a working-class single mother, her young daughter and a privileged gay man — was met with critical acclaim when it aired in March 2023. The eight-part series starred Daisy May Cooper,Jack Farthing,Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjoand Fleur Tashjian, andlater earned a Gotham Award nomination for best breakthrough series, while Carraway was named a BAFTA Breakthrough.
Prior to working in TV, Carraway wrote “Skint Estate,” a darkly comic memoir chronicling her life as a single mother navigating impoverishment, loneliness and violence in austerity Britain, which was published by Penguin Random House in 2019. Ken Loach described it as “extraordinary,” adding that it “bursts with energy, wit and anger.” Carraway’s writing has been likened to that of Charles Bukowski, with Time magazine pitching it as “Raunchy gallows humor. And she’s genius at it.”
