Rosie Jones comedy Pushers confirms Channel 4 release date
The sitcom stars Rosie Jones as an upstart drug dealer.
New Channel 4 comedy Pushers has been given an official release date.
Written by Rosie Jones and Peter Fellows, the comedy is based on her award-winning Comedy Blap Disability Benefits, and will air on the channel on Thursday 19th June at 10pm.
Jones also stars in the six-parter as upstart drug dealer Emily, who, after being made redundant and having her state benefits cuts, begins building an illegal drugs empire to make ends meet.
Like Jones, Emily has cerebral palsy, which has caused others to underestimate and patronise her often.
"What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by the same broken system which exists to protect the law?" Channel 4 teased.
Jones will be joined by the likes of Ryan McParland (Halo), Jon Furlong (The Last Kingdom, Adolescence), Lynn Hunter (The Personal History of David Copperfield), Rhiannon Clements (Vera), Ruben Reuter (The Dumping Ground), Libby Mai (We Are Lady Parts), Trevor Dwyer-Lynch (Coronation Street) and Clive Russell (Game of Thrones), who will play Emily's dad Clive.
