When will Sheridan Smith’s new Sky comedy Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything air on TV

Sheridan Smith is to star in a new Sky comedy series.

In the new show, Sheridan has the lead role as Rosie who suffers from anxiety and depression and the plot follows her efforts to ditch booze and drugs and start afresh.

Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything has been written by Susan Nickson, creator and writer of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and Grownups.

Sheridan Smith plays Rosie Molloy who is “addicted to everything.”

A teaser shares: “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?”

“Great stories have the power to help us connect with each other, and at its best entertainment isn’t something we watch, it’s something we feel and experience.

“That’s why we’re creating and investing in world-class original storytelling to give our customers even more of their favourite shows and films than ever before.

“We’re delighted to be working with some of the best UK and international talent, both on and off screen, to bring these stories to life. “

The new series will air on Sky and NOW and is one of a raft of new series and renewals announced this week including a second series of I Hate Suzie

The hotly-anticipated series is expected to hit screens this winter.
