In My Skin is heading to Hulu.
The BBC coming-of-age comedy will debut on the streamer on June 4.
The dark drama was created, written and inspired by the life of Kayleigh Llewellyn. The series follows Welsh teenager, Bethan, who lives a double life as she tries to keep her mother’s mental illness and her father’s alcoholism a secret.
The series is directed by Lucy Forbes (End Of the F***king World 2) and executive produced by Nerys Evans and Llewellyn.
“We were blown away by the response to the pilot episode, which won two BAFTA Cymru Awards, and now to have such a brilliant reception for the series is just incredible,” Llewellyn said. “I’m eternally grateful to the people both on and off the camera who have poured so much love and care into this show. It’s a story close to my heart and to be able to share it on a global platform is truly thrilling. I just hope that Americans will know what a ‘fat bap’ is….”
Evans added: “I’m so excited that In My Skin will be launching on Hulu in the US and that viewers there will be able to relive their adolescence through Bethan — and through Kayleigh’s fantastic writing. I’m looking forward to a US audience engaging with our characters and experiencing this funny, raw and at times heart-breaking comedy.”
