HARD CELL: TRAILER FOR CATHERINE TATE'S NEW NETFLIX COMEDY

Following the announcement last July, a first look trailer at Catherine Tate in new comedy Hard Cell has been released, as well as the launch date confirmed.

Hard Cell is a documentary style comedy set in the fictional female prison, HMP Woldsley.

Writer and creator Catherine Tate plays multiple characters from Laura Willis, the Governor who believes creativity leads to rehabilitation, to Big Viv, the psychopath lifer. Set over a 6 week period during which the inmates rehearse a musical directed by ex-Eastender’s star Cheryl Fergison.

Rehearsals draw together an oddball collection of women as they find their voices, grow in confidence and strengthen their friendships. Funny yet surprisingly moving, Hard Cell leans into the comical truth of prison life.

Executive producer Kristian Smith said: "We cannot wait to show audiences on Netflix the inside of HMP Woldsley, our fictional prison occupied by the fantastic creations of Catherine Tate. This series is funny and touching all at once, revealing what life might be like in a British women’s correctional facility."

Hard Cell lands Tuesday 12th April on Netflix.
