‘What Is It Gets Worse About?’
The comedy follows three university best friends in London who look at their humiliating jobs, non-existent love lives and dwindling will to live and wonder if life gets better than this.
The official synopsis answers its own question with a very honest “Spoiler alert! It doesn’t.”
According to Channel 4, the trio share a flat in the city, but their landlord is selling the property, so they have to find new homes and see whether their friendship can survive.
‘Who Is in the Cast?’
Leo Reich lays Ethan, alongside Emily Fairn (House of Guinness, The Responder) as Abi and Olive Gray (Save Me, Halo) as Sam.
Sean Delaney, Dane Williams, India Mullen and Edinburgh Comedy Award 2025 nominee John Tothill round out the main cast.
Guest stars include Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers), Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Andrew plays a therapist in the series, while Lena cameos as Abi’s boss, according to Attitude and Chortle.

‘Who Is Leo Reich?’
Leo Reich is the writer, creator and star, and he’s best known for his debut stand-up show, Literally Who Cares?!
That show earned a Best Newcomer nomination at the Dave Comedy Awards in 2022 and was later released as an HBO special produced by A24.
Channel 4 commissioned It Gets Worse in February 2025, with Leo calling himself “over the moon” to work with A24.
‘How Is It Being Received in the U.K.?’
The series debuted at the BFI London Film Festival on Oct. 14 before its Channel 4 premiere on Oct. 22.
Chortle gave it four out of five stars and called it “hip yet realistic,” noting that the first episode takes a little time to settle in.
The reviewer also compared the tone to Girls, the series Lena created.
‘Where Can You Watch It Gets Worse?’
In the U.S., all six episodes will be available on Paramount+ on Nov. 6, but only on the Premium Plan.
The series will also stream on Paramount+ in Latin America, Brazil and Italy.
In Canada, it streams exclusively on Crave, while U.K. viewers can already catch it on Channel 4.
If you love a messy, relatable friend group story, this one looks like an easy weekend binge.
Paramount+ also has a big premiere coming up, as the Yellowjackets final season arrives Nov. 20.
