Coming April 16, Frank of Ireland is a new comedy made by Channel 4 and Amazon and coming to Amazon Prime

We were pleased to see a wealth of information on this new show on the trailer:

Frank of Ireland is a physical and ridiculous brand of humor with an original twist. Brian Gleeson (Peaky Blinders, The Bisexual), stars as Frank Marron, a 32-year-old catastrophe; a misanthropic fantasist in arrested development who’s convinced that the world owes him. He’s also our hero. Frank is newly single and still lives at home with his mother, Mary (Pom Boyd). He’s a self-proclaimed musician with a tenuous hold on reality, and hasn’t written a song or played a gig in years.

His ex-girlfriend Áine (Sarah Greene) has just found a new boyfriend, and Frank may be finding that a tad difficult. Luckily, Frank has a loyal best friend, Doofus, (Domhnall Gleeson) whose full-time job is clearing the debris left in Frank’s wake. Set in an idyllic suburb of Dublin, Frank of Ireland is the hilarious story of a man’s hapless search for respect, as he struggles to grow up and get his life together, and hopefully not burn everything to the ground in the process. Frank of Ireland is produced by Merman, and is a co-production between Channel 4 and Amazon Studios. The series is executive produced by Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford for Merman, Brian Gleeson, Domhnall Gleeson, and Michael Moloney. The series is produced by Rory Gilmartin and directed by MJ Delaney for Merman.

Alongside that is, of course, the trailer itself. Channel 4 as an impressive record of bringing Irish comedy to our screens (Father Ted, Derry Girls) and this looks set to be counted amongst them. Cath Frank of Ireland on Amazon this April.
