Andrew Scott's Shocking Role in New Comedy Series

A provocative two-minute clip from Leo Reich's new comedy series, 'It Gets Worse,' has gone viral, sparking significant attention. The scene features Ethan, played by Reich, in a therapy session with Andrew Scott's character, which takes an unexpected and intense sexual turn. This premiere has quickly become a major talking point for the show.

The British-Canadian comedy series, created by Reich, is set to premiere in the U.S. on Showtime via Paramount+ on November 6, 2026. 'It Gets Worse' follows the lives of three young friends living in London, struggling with demanding jobs and complicated romantic lives.

Reich, drawing inspiration from his stand-up special 'Literally Who Cares?', described the show's premise as a contemporary take on beloved hangout comedies like 'Seinfeld' and 'Insecure.' He envisioned it as a blend of 'Girls' and 'Peep Show,' focusing on young adult chaos and mundane British realities.

Andrew Scott's appearance is a brief cameo, but the opening scene with him has been instrumental in drawing initial interest. Other notable cameos include Lena Dunham, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and Blake Harrison, each offering twisted takes on familiar on-screen experiences.

The series aims to capture the tension between the desire for self-improvement and the realities of being young, delusional, and self-involved. The provocative therapist scene, as the title suggests, encapsulates the show's theme of things escalating to a worse state.
