Almost and Then Always is a slow-burn romantic dramedy set against the high-stakes worlds of music and football - but at its core, it's a story about friendship, love, and choosing each other through the chaos.

Gracie Russell, a rising pop star on the verge of losing herself, and Mason Mount, a professional footballer chasing greatness, have been best friends for years - both secretly in love but too afraid to risk what they have. When life, fame, and a web of public scrutiny pull them apart, they're forced to find their way back not just to each other, but to themselves.

From the emotional night of the 2021 Champions League Final in Porto to whirlwind tours, messy PR relationships, and unexpected reunions in Madrid, Gracie and Mason's journey is as chaotic as it is heartfelt. With the help of her outspoken best friend Delilah Foden and Mason's easygoing teammate Luca Moreno, they rebuild their friendship, fight for their love, and eventually create the family they never knew they needed - complete with dogs, a wedding, and one unforgettable pregnancy twist.

It's a story of second chances, healing, and finding home in the person who's been there all along.

Cassie Parsons and Aidan Hawke are your typical everyday people you see from a window in a coffee shop. Like the side characters to your life that you see once or twice and you never see again. Their life seems to be going in an endless circle of sleep, eat, work, repeat. Cosmo's bar is where their life has a meaning, but the success-thirsty duo crave more. With only their GCSEs, A-Levels and bar experience to their name, it's difficult to get out into the world they desire. That's until a special reservation under the name 'Roman Abramovich' fills every seat in their bar. An exciting night of meeting everyone behind the scenes of Chelsea FC and their players doesn't just bring Cassie and Aidan delight, but also sparks the ignition to their new life. Whilst Aidan becomes popular with the players, Cassie and a particular Kai Havertz accidentally become closer than they initially planned. As the duo slowly start to find their place in the squad, the players are determined to officially get them into Stamford Bridge. Maybe not as footballers of course, but as members behind the scenes of their fame. However, with these new friendships brings Cassie and Aidan confusion, curiosity and, for once, hope. But why does such a famous team want two nobodies? Will doubt cross their minds and cause them to believe it's all a hoax, or will the duo take their chances at what could be a social media disaster?
