At the heart of G’wed is the superficially disobeying Reece, who, despite appearing as a loud mouthed anti-hero, has a surprising knowledge of John Steinbeck, can quote Mother Teresa, and has a very mature take on grief. Alongside him is Aimee, emotionally mature and fiercely determined, and Mia-Louise, a manipulator of men who don't deserve any better.

Written by newcomer Danny Kenny, the comedy shines a light on the overlooked population of the Liverpool working class. The teenagers at the heart of this series confront grie, sex, class differences and diversity, all with a “surviving sense of humour.”

Writer Danny Kenny says: “Being from a working-class background I’m fascinated by how your upbringing can shape you, so it’s really important to me that the show challenges stereotypes. I want each character to constantly surprise, reflecting a more genuine and well-rounded take on the people of Liverpool.”

ITV’s Head of Comedy, Nana Hughes, says: “G’wed sees an extremely exciting group of new talent hit our screens, most of whom will be seen for the first time. Danny captures youthful working-class banter perfectly.”

The six-part series will begin filming in Liverpool in the summer of 2023, and will premiere on ITVX in 2024.
