COMEDY SERIES WITH HUGH BONNEVILLE AND KAREN GILLAN

ITVX has released first images from their surprising comedy series DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED which focuses on the cancel culture. Hugh Bonneville plays a middle aged and widely-respected news anchor called Douglas Bellowes while Karen Gillan stars as his canny sidekick Madeline. Ben Miles, Alex Kingston and Simon Russell Beale also star.

 

  DOUGLAS LIVES A PERFECT LIFE

He enjoys his privileged status as national treasure and host of current affairs show “Live at Six” while off-air he shares a harmonious home with wife Sheila, a newspaper editor. But their world is turned upside down when, at a family wedding, he’s overheard making an “ill-advised joke.” As a guest threatens to expose Douglas on social media the rumor mill goes into overdrive and sparks off a digital storm that quickly upends his life and career. With her 2 million social media followers, tech-savvy co-anchor Madeline could throw Douglas a lifeline by posting in his defense … but will she?
