Exclusive: The BBC has renewed comedy series We Might Regret This for two more seasons, providing new impetus for its producers’ hunt for a U.S. buyer.

A recommission has looked likely for some time following strong reviews in the UK and two more six-part runs have now been officially confirmed to Deadline.

From creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty, We Might Regret This follows Freya (Kyla Harris), a woman in love who leaves her native Canada for London to be with her boyfriend, Abe (Darren Boyd), a to-year-old straight-laced lawyer with whom she shares a loving relationship and an electric sexual connection.

We Might Regret This offers viewers a warmly refreshing take on relationships, caregiving, and disability. At its heart are the bonds between two long-time friends, Freya and Jo, tested in unexpected ways when life surprises them with new challenges.

The BBC has debuted a trailer for the upcoming comedy-drama series ‘We Might Regret.’

The series is inspired by the lives and experiences of its creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty.

Centring around a new relationship, an impending blended family and an intense female friendship, the series follows Freya (Kyla Harris) a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic. She’s moved to London for Abe (Darren Boyd), a 50-something straight-laced lawyer who thinks he’s the old dog that can learn new tricks.

Freya and Abe’s relationship is a high-speed romance which sees Abe inviting Freya to move into his house before she’s even seen upstairs. Because of Freya’s disability, living together also includes personal assistants (PAs), who are always there – a third person in earshot for every romantic moment and domestic screaming match.

After failing to find the right person for this more than intimate role, Freya...

The exec producer behind BBC comedy-drama We Might Regret This has said his ambition was for a show starring and written by a disabled performer to be “at the very top table of creativity.”

The Office and People Just Do Nothing producer Ash Atalla, whose Roughcut TV outfit is making We Might Regret This in association with Village Roadshow Television, said there has been a tendency for British broadcasters to “use the dry slopes of smaller budget shows or ancillary channels as training progams” when it comes to projects led by disabled people.

Penned by Kyla Harris and Lee Getty, We Might Regret This, on the other hand, is being positioned as a bigger-budget primetime offering for the UK’s national broadcaster, which its backers feel could be a potential awards winner.

“There was always an ambition to make a show that stars a disabled performer sat at the very top table of creativity,...

Exclusive: The BBC has greenlit a comedy-drama about a Canadian tetraplegic moving to London from Stath Lets Flats producer Roughcut TV in association with Village Roadshow Television.

In the Catastrophe-esque We Might Regret This, Freya, played by the show’s co-writer Kyla Harris, moves to the English capital to live with Abe (Killing Eve and Smack the Pony’s Darren Boyd). Abe thinks he’s an old dog that can learn new tricks but Freya requires constant PAs who are always present and, after failing to find the right person for this intimate role, invites chaotic and impulsive best friend Jo (Elena Saurel) to take the job.

The show is inspired by the lives of Harris and co-writer Lee Getty, who said it will be about the “messiest and most joyous lived experiences of friendship, love and disability.”

We Might Regret This was initially reported to be in development as a Channel 4 pilot.
