Viceland greenlights Brexit comedy

Fledgling youth-skewing network Viceland has commissioned a comedy series focused on Britain’s forthcoming exit from the European Union (EU).

Brexit Stage Left (4×30’) is being produced in-house for the UK version of the channel.

The four-part series is fronted by UK comedian Jamali Maddix, whose previous Viceland series Hate Thy Neighbour aired last year.

Maddix and three comedian friends, Fern Brady, Alfie Brown and Sean McLoughlin, will travel Europe to find out if anybody outside Britain actually cares about the country’s decision to leave the EU.

Filming will take place in Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen. Yonni Usiskin will executive produce.
