From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Drop is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered on Narcity Media's YouTube channel in 2023.[1] The series stars Aisha Evelyna and Dani Pagliarello as Polly and Zara, two young women who support themselves in the outrageously expensive city of Toronto by launching their own business as professional line-waiters for wealthy clients who want all the latest hot products but are too busy to line up to buy them personally.[1]

The supporting cast includes Danté Prince, Andrew Robinson, Samantha Brown, Aurora Browne, Mark Little, Mishka Thébaud, Nicole Power, Kris Siddiqi, Nigel Downer, Patrick Ronan and Daniel Simpson.

Narcity's first scripted web series,[2] the series was created by Evelyna and Pagliarello for True West Films.[3]
