Details on Sick Note starring Rupert Grint and Nick Frost
Rupert Grint and Nick Frost are to star in Sick Note, a new sitcom for Sky Atlantic.
The six-part series will focus on how "desperate a person's actions can become when a lie starts to spiral out of control".
Sick Note is the story of Daniel Glass, a compulsive liar. Just when things couldn't get any worse for him, he's diagnosed with esophageal cancer. But owing to the diagnosis, Daniel finds those around him begin treating him better.
However, Daniel then finds out he was misdiagnosed, leaving him with a big decision. He can come clean and go back to his old rubbish life, or keep this new information a secret and pretend to be ill.
Daniel decides to go for the latter option and lie, but very quickly the mis-truths spiral out of control and both Daniel and Dr Glennis who diagnosed him have to spend all of their waking lives trying to prevent the truth from getting out.
The sitcom will be shown on Sky Atlantic in early 2017, with the entire series being made available as an on-demand Sky Box Set.
Not bad. Rise ginger king, rise!
