In an exciting announcement today, BBC and Roughcut TV revealed their collaboration on a brand new comedy drama series titled “We Might Regret This.” Inspired by the real-life experiences of its creators, Kyla Harris and Lee Getty, the show promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of humour and drama.

The series revolves around Freya (Kyla Harris), a talented Canadian artist in her 30s who happens to be tetraplegic. Having relocated to London for a budding relationship with Abe (Darren Boyd), a 50-something lawyer known for his serious demeanour, Freya finds herself in a whirlwind romance. In a twist of events, Abe invites Freya to move in with him before she has even had a chance to explore his home. Complicating matters further, Freya requires the constant presence of personal assistants (PAs) due to her disability, resulting in a perpetual third person witnessing their intimate moments as well as heated arguments. Struggling to find the perfect fit for this unique role, Freya turns to her impulsive and chaotic best friend, Jo (Elena Saurel), to take on the challenging task. With an unforeseeable outcome, audiences can expect a captivating rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Expressing their excitement, co-creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty stated, “We are thrilled that Roughcut TV, the BBC, and Village Roadshow Television recognise the humour in our messy and joyful experiences of friendship, love, and disability. We never imagined they would find our bad decisions amusing.”

Jaffe expressed their delight in partnering with Roughcut TV and the BBC, showcasing Village Roadshow Television’s commitment to expanding its global television presence.
