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.

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?

Oh comme ça fait plaisir de retrouver ces acteurs ! En tant que fan de Dr Who et de Downton Abbey, je suis joie Merci pour l'info Emjy Avec Moffat aux manettes, ça peut être chouette. Hâte d'en savoir plus !
