It Gets Worse Sets Channel 4 and Paramount+ Release Dates
Channel 4 has revealed the UK premiere date for It Gets Worse, the upcoming comedy created by Leo Reich. The series will debut on Channel 4 on Oct. 14, the same day it premieres at the BFI London Film Festival.
The announcement follows the release of an NSFW clip that quickly drew widespread attention online. In the scene, Reich plays Ethan, an unsure 24-year-old who hooks up with a therapist portrayed by Andrew Scott. Scott’s character tells Ethan you’re just a hole for daddy
before spitting in his mouth, a moment that reignited interest among viewers familiar with Scott’s role as the Hot Priest in Fleabag.
When Will It Gets Worse Stream in the US?
American audiences will have to wait longer to watch It Gets Worse. The series is scheduled to arrive on Paramount+ in early November, although a specific streaming date has not been provided.
Produced by A24, the series follows three young people as they spiral over their worsening adult lives. In addition to Andrew Scott and Leo Reich, the cast includes guest stars Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Other A24 British Series Coming to Paramount+
It Gets Worse is one of three British series from A24 that Paramount+ has announced for its streaming lineup. The others are Major Players, an original drama about two girls attempting to start a women’s soccer team, and The Ministry of Time, an adaptation of Kaliane Bradley’s bestselling novel.
The Ministry of Time follows a civil servant tasked with helping a time-traveling Victorian-era polar explorer adjust to the modern world. Neither Major Players nor The Ministry of Time has a confirmed streaming date.
Why This Matters
The release positions It Gets Worse as part of A24’s expanding British television slate on Paramount+. Its Channel 4 launch and BFI London Film Festival premiere will give the comedy an early UK platform, while the Paramount+ release will make it available to American audiences in early November. The series’ prominent guest cast and the attention generated by its NSFW promotional clip have also made it one of the more closely watched upcoming A24 comedies.
