FIRST LOOK It Gets Worse

The series follows three young people who are starting to look around themselves.

Filming has commenced on Channel 4's brand new comedy It Gets Worse, written, created by and starring Leo Reich, with Emily Fairn, Olive Gray, Sean Delaney, Dane Williams, India Mullen and John Tothill joining the cast.

It follows Ethan, Abi, and Sam who are best friends from uni, soulmates for life, and dysfunctional roommates. It’s been a year since they finally managed to move to London, they have collectively accomplished nothing, and now their landlord is selling up. They’re getting kicked out. What now?

Can they keep their friendships alive when they are dispersed across a city that seems to want them dead? Can they find a six out of ten or higher to have bad sex with? Can they get their shit together when the world is so obviously falling apart? Probably not. But they’re going to have fun trying.

It Gets Worse is described as a show about three young people who are starting to look around themselves, at their humiliating jobs, their non-existent love lives and their rapidly dwindling will to live, and think: wait. Wait wait WAIT. Surely it gets better than this? It has to get better than this. Right? Spoiler alert! It doesn’t.

Also joining the cast are Andrew Scott, Arian Nik, Lena Dunham, Safia Oakley-Green, Blake Harrison, Nicole Sadie Sawyerr, Phil Zimmerman, Billy Rilot, Kirsty Bloom, Babymorocco Clayton Pettet, Luca Kamleh-Chapman, Vicki Pepperdine, Amelia Dimoldenberg and Emmeline Downie.

Produced by A24 for Channel 4 and co-commissioned by Bell Media’s Crave for Canada, It Gets Wordse will be produced by Sam Pinnell, directed by Mounia Akl, with Matthew Lewis as Director of Photography.

It Gets Worse will air in 2026 on Channel 4
