The series follows three young people who are starting to look around themselves.
Channel 4 has today announced It Gets Worse, a brand new six-part comedy written by, created by and starring comedian, writer, and actor Leo Reich and produced by A24.
It Gets Worse 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.
Speaking about the new show, 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!"
To which Channel 4's Head of Comedy, Charlie Perkins, added "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."
Further details will be announced in due course.
It Gets Worse will air on Channel 4
