BBC Three has announced a new comedy from the minds behind Friday Night Dinner and People Just Do Nothing.<\/p>\n
Titled Peacock, the new series will be a three-parter following Andy (Allan \u2018Seapa\u2019 Mustafa), a personal trainer at Sportif Leisure in the throes of an identity crisis.<\/p>\n
BBC Three has released a synopsis hinting at what\u2019s in store for Andy, whose life in the cutthroat world of selfies, bravado and gym memberships takes a turn for the worse when he loses out on a promotion to a younger, better-looking PT.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe needs to prove that there\u2019s more to him than his good looks and his well-curated dating profile,\u201d the synopsis teases. \u201cHe sets out to prove that he can be taken seriously. But can he?\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2019re willing to bet it\u2019s unlikely.<\/p>
Mustafa is joined by Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount as Jay, Thomas Gray (Absolutely Fine) as Spooner, Susan Wokoma (Year of the Rabbit) as Liz, Callie Cooke (The Stranger) as Carly and Mandeep Dhillon (After Life) as Georgia.<\/p>\n
Sophia Di Martino, who recently made her Marvel debut in Loki, also stars as Blue.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the series, writer Steve Stamp said: \u201cClearly I am not someone qualified to write about going to the gym so it\u2019s actually mostly about a bunch of flawed messes struggling to function in the modern world.\u201d<\/p>\n
BBC Three boss Fiona Campbell added: \u201cPeople Just Do Nothing was a massive hit for BBC Three so it goes without saying that we couldn\u2019t be happier that we\u2019re working with some of the highly-talented team behind it for their new series Peacock.\u201d<\/p>\n
The series is currently filming in Liverpool and is set to air later this year on BBC Three.<\/p>\n
BBC Three returns as an official channel this week, with the likes of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK Vs The World<\/a> making their regular broadcast and iPlayer debuts.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> BBC Three hopes to bring viewers to BBC amid licence fee plans<\/a><\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
