Prime Video have released the official trailer for its compelling new drama Fifteen-Love. The show will launch on Prime Video UK and Ireland on July 21st, 2023, starring Irish actors Ella Lily Hyland and Aidan Turner.
Fifteen-Love explores the story of Justine Pearce (Hyland), a dynamic young sports prodigy, who had a meteoric rise in the world of Grand Slam tennis. Glenn Lapthorn (Turner) was Justine’s maverick coach, with whom she shared an intense rapport.
Together, they reached the semifinals of the French Open. However, tragedy struck on court, and Justine's dream of sporting glory was cut brutally short by a devastating injury, which resulted in a shattered wrist and the end of her professional career.
Five years on, Justine is a physiotherapist at her old tennis academy, Longwood, alongside her former physio. It seems like she is finally healed, both physically and psychologically, from her humiliating downfall on the global stage.

However, when Justine makes an explosive allegation against her former coach, everyone at Longwood is forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Justine and Glenn’s past success.
Examining the intense physical and mental pressures of professional sport, Fifteen-Love is a gripping and sensitive exploration of trust, power, and obsession, and what can be lost when you’ll do anything to win.
The series is produced by Natasha Romaniuk and written by Hania Elkington, who also acts as executive producer, alongside Jake Lushington.
