Sky’s new comedy about kicking the habit(s) reunites two stars of Father Ted.   

Ahead of its December release, Sky have dropped the trailer for their new comedy. Starring Sheridan Smith in the title role, Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything tackles the subject of addictions and how they can come to define our lives.

Here’s the synopsis for the show:

Rosie Molloy (Sheridan Smith) is addicted to everything. Smoking, alcohol, Terry’s Chocolate Oranges, Xanax, Adderall, caffeine… the list goes on. After an embarrassing incident at her brother Joey’s wedding, she wakes up in hospital and decides to change her life by ‘giving up everything’.

But as Rosie juggles her father’s ill health and the possibility of losing her job, she has the dawning realisation that her addictions are destroying everything – her friendships, her family and her work life. Harder still is the realisation that perhaps it isn’t the addictions that are the problem. If Rosie really does give up everything, will she still be Rosie?

Two stars of the classic 90s sitcom Father Ted reunite in the show; Pauline McLynn plays Wim, Rosie’s mother, while Ardal O’Hanlon is her father, Conall. I May Destroy You star Lewis Reeves will play her younger brother, Joey.

The show’s writer is Susan Nickson (Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Grownups), the director David Sant (Yonderland) and producer Sarah Fraser. Hartswood Films make the show, with executive producers Elaine Cameron (Hartswood Films) and Jon Mountague (Sky Studios).

Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything begins on Sky Comedy and Now on Wednesday, December 7th.
