The new series will follow Brydon’s character Bill Bream who is forced to rent out his spare rooms following his divorce.

It follows him finding his feet as a landlord and housemate to Gen Z lodgers.

Brydon said: “I feel very lucky to be part of Bill’s Included. Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden have written some truly wonderful scripts and I can’t wait to help bring them to life.”

The show will also star Dylan Brady, Ada Player, Harry Baxendale and Yasmine Al-Khudhairi as the students who become part of the unlikely house share.
