What is Sick Note, who's in the cast and what's it about?

Created by Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz, Sick Note is an upcoming comedy show starring Rupert Grint, aka Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter movies.

The six-part series follows his character Daniel Glass, an insurance rep working for a tyrannical boss, and compulsive liar who's fed up of his relationship.

Things take a dramatic turn, however, when Dr Ian Glennis - played by Hot Fuzz's Nick Frost - diagnoses him with esophageal cancer.

People immediately start treating Daniel will greater respect and affection, leading him to discover a new lease of life.

However, incompetent Dr Glennis soon reveals he misdiagnosed Daniel.

Stuck in an unusual dilemma, Daniel forms a plot with the doctor to cover up his error and continue pretending he is suffering with the disease, which inevitably leads to utter chaos.

In series two Lindsay Lohan will play Katerina West, the daughter of Daniel's boss, who is in turn played by Miami Vice star Don Johnson.

Other cast members include Black Mirror's Daniel Rigby, and Marama Corlett from Guardians Of The Galaxy 2.

When does Sick Note series one kick off?

Sick Note is due to begin in autumn 2017 on Sky One and Sky Atlantic, as well as being shown on NOWTV.

Directed by Little Britain's Matt Lipsey, it's being billed for the Sky One 10pm slot.

Series two is already being filmed with Lohan and the rest of the cast and that will air in early 2018.

Daniel's twisted story has a lot of longevity so if it's a success it could well run for many series.
