It Gets Worse announced by channel 4.
Channel 4 has announced a brand new comedy series written, created and starring comedian, writer, and actor Leo Reich and produced by A24.
Fans of Big Boys, the cult comedy which comes to an end with its third series, will love this!
It Gets Worse centres on Ethan, Abi, and Sam – inseparable best friends from university, soulmates for life, and dysfunctional roommates. A year after their move to London, they’ve achieved little, and now their landlord is selling the property. They’re being evicted. So, what’s next? Can they keep their bond intact when the city seems determined to break them? Can they find a six-out-of-ten or better for a disastrous hookup? Can they get their lives together when everything else is falling apart? Probably not. But they’ll have a blast trying.
Leo Reich said, “I’m over the moon to be working with the amazing teams at A24 and Channel 4 on It Gets Worse. This is a show for everyone who is, has been or will be a delusional and irritating 24 year old — I see you, I love you, I am you. I’m going to try my absolute hardest to do our community justice. I’m so excited!”
Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy at Channel 4 said, “We’re thrilled to be the home of Leo’s first show with A24. Leo has this ability to distil the swirling complications and idiosyncrasies of his generation into succinct, spiky and incredibly funny writing and magnetic performances. The ‘voice of a generation’ label many have given him is valid, and as Channel 4 has always been the best place for the brightest new comedy voices, it feels like Leo’s spiritual home.”
