Buffering is a British sitcom broadcast on ITV2.[1] The series was created and is co-written by comedian Iain Stirling and Steve Bugeja,[2] [3] and began airing on 5 August 2021 with all episodes available on the ITV Hub on the same day. After a year hiatus, a second series aired in January 2023, but after 12 episodes "Buffering" was axed.
"Buffering follows the lives of kids’ TV presenter Iain (Iain Stirling) and his housemates...as they attempt to navigate the choppy waters of their late twenties, with every wrong decision, failed relationship and wasted hungover day intensifying the feeling that time is running out for them to get their 'adult' lives in order."[4]
