Greg Davies is making a new comedy, Safe Space, for Sky One. The Taskmaster host has written and created it and will star in it as a demotivated small-time psychotherapist heading nowhere fast until fate intervenes in the form of a new client; his rising star local MP. A dark web of revelations leads to a serious breach of client confidentially in this tale of control, power and how idiotic it makes us.
And Russell Howard is making Back To The Future Stand Up Show - a travelogue filmed as he toured around New Zealand and Australia.
These new announcements add to the Sky original series already due to air this year, including Brassic series three, Britannia series three and Temple series two.
As previously anniunced Breeders with Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard and Intelligence with David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed will both return for second runs.
There will also be Bloods, a new paramedic comedy following mismatched ambulance paramedics at a south London emergency service played by Samson Kayo and Jane Horrocks.
Sky has also announced a ocumentary about the case of Jeremy Bamber and the White House Farm Murders - The Bambers: Murder at the Farm - executive produced by Louis Theroux and Aaron Fellows.
Using first-hand testimony and unseen archive footage to re-examine the shocking events of 1985, the film explores evidence that has emerged since the original trial of Bamber.
"This is a story not only about the criminal justice system but about family and adoption, class and religion, mental health and the undeserved stigma around it."
Sky has announced today that it will be doubling its offering of original film and TV content, with more than 125 new Sky Originals planned for 2021.
