   DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED   

COMEDY SERIES WITH HUGH BONNEVILLE

ITVX has released first trailer 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. The four part series will hit ITV and ITVX later this month.

 

  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?
