E4's new comedy

E4 have released the first trailed for their new comedy Maxxx.

The series revolves around a formerly famous boyband star turned drug-shamed tabloid laughing stock who tries to make a comeback.

It has been written by O-T Fagbenle, from the Handmaid's Tale, who also stars as the lead character.

He said the six-part series 'doesn't just parody the worst of our social media obsessed entertainment industry but also speaks to the narcissistic, ego maniacal and unnecessarily long winded fool in all of us.'

The cast also includes supermodel Jourdan Dunn as his ex-girlfriend, Helen Monks from Raised by Wolves and Upstart Crow, as a superfan, and Javone Prince as Maxxx’s former bandmate.
