Douglas Is Cancelled Trailer with Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan

Today, BritBox debuted the official trailer for its Original four-episode series Douglas Is Cancelled, which will premiere on Thursday, March 6 followed by episodes airing twice weekly.

In the series, journalist Douglas Bellowes’ life implodes after a tweet about him allegedly making a sexist joke goes viral – in this provocative comedy-drama from acclaimed writer Steven Moffat (Sherlock).

Douglas (Hugh Bonneville) and Madeline (Karen Gillan) are co-hosts of a popular current affairs show. Madeline is young and sharp, and Douglas middle-aged and highly respected. But a single tweet, claiming Douglas told a sexist joke at a recent wedding, tears Douglas’s life apart.

With the help of editor Toby, wife Sheila and agent Bentley, Douglas tries to save his career. Is he truly guilty – or a victim of cancel culture? And exactly how is co-host Madeline caught up in it all?

The timely series about gender politics and trial by social media stars Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy), Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) and Simon Russell Beale (House of the Dragon),
