ITV's latest comedy series in G'Wed is set to be broadcast on TV after a launch on ITVX earlier in the year.
It was filmed across Wirral, Liverpool and Sefton over the summer of last year and features an "exciting cast of young talent alongside established actors".
The series delves into the working-class culture of ‘surviving with a sense of humour’ with the distinctive voice of Liverpool and the lived experience of kids from the city, tackling issues such as grief, sex, diversity and class differences.
A synopsis on the Radio Times says: "Recently orphaned middle-class teenager Christopher goes to live with his grandmother on a Liverpool council estate and forms an unlikely alliance with working-class Reece.
What a joy #Gwed is.

Ridiculous, fast, original and so confident in itself for a first series. And a whole new generation of talented actors. pic.twitter.com/QT8PSCdCBf
"About to be expelled, Reece convinces his school's headmaster to give him one last chance and let him mentor Christopher."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
