David Mitchell and Robert Webb are returning to Channel 4 with a brand-new sketch show, which sees them combine forces with a host of exciting and innovative future stars, marking a bold return to British sketch comedy with an innovative merging of comedy minds across generations.

Mitchell & Webb will be supported by an ensemble cast of next generation writer/performers: Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Lara Ricote, Stevie Martin, and Krystal Evans, plus a dynamic team of established and upcoming comic writers.

The six-part series will be produced by That Mitchell & Webb Company in association with Big Talk Studios (Friday Night Dinner, Back, Ludwig), which is part of ITV Studios, and helmed by the BAFTA-winning duo’s long-standing Producer Gareth Edwards.

    This is great news. Everything they’ve been involved in is amazing! Peep show is my favourite show of all time and That Mitchell & Webb look is definitely up there.

      I couldn’t see one in the article, and given that’s the official press release I guess not.

    Future stars sounds promising.
    When you look at shows like Bruiser, getting future people in was what led to their own careers.
