Aisling Bea and Sharon Horgan are set to play siblings in a new sitcom, Happy, on Channel 4. Happy, penned by Aisling Bea is about a woman suffering from anxiety and depression and her older sister – played by Sharon Horgan – who struggles to look after her.
It will be directed by Alex Winckler, who also directed My Mad Fat Diary and will air sometime in 2019.
This will be the pair’s second stint at playing sisters, Aisling played Sharon’s little sister in Dead Boss on BBC Three, Aisling said to Chortle in 2015: “Myself and Sharon met for the first time filming the pilot for Dead Boss and we fell deep in love,
“We have been working together for a few years on bits and pieces and when she and Clelia Mountford set up their own production company, Merman, we started chatting ideas and brainstorming things we could make together. We hope to use this as a way of making the most of our similar backgrounds.”
Aisling has many other projects up her sleeve so get ready to see a lot of this fantastic comedian…
