Filming has commenced for the new BBC comedy series, "Bill," starring Rob Brydon in his first scripted comedy role since "Gavin & Stacey." Brydon plays Bill Beam, a recently divorced man in his fifties who decides to rent out his spare rooms to students to avoid financial difficulties.
The six-part series, penned by Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen, centers on Bill's attempts to connect with his young lodgers, despite their differing lifestyles and his strict house rules. The synopsis reveals a humorous yet poignant exploration of heartbreak and reinvention.
Executive producer Rupert Majendie described "Bill's Included" as a "big, character-driven comedy with real emotional truth at its core." Brydon himself praised the "truly wonderful" scripts. While filming has just begun, the series is expected to premiere in late 2026 at the earliest.
