Brief Encounters is a British comedy-drama series created by Oriane Messina and Fay Rusling.

The series was produced by CPL Productions for broadcast on ITV and aired from 4 July to 8 August 2016. Filming took place between January and April 2016 in Sheffield. It was well received by critics. The show was cancelled by ITV two months after the airing of last episode.
