Air date set for new BBC comedy drama Rain Dogs

New comedy drama Rain Dogs starring Daisy May Cooper begins on BBC One on Tuesday 4th April.

The show stars Daisy May Cooper, Jack Farthing, Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo, Adrian Edmondson and Fleur Tashjian in her debut role.

The eight-part series chronicles the life of Costello Jones (Daisy May Cooper), a devoted mother who wants more for her young daughter, Iris (Fleur Tashjian).

As she hustles to survive, Costello leans on Selby (Jack Farthing), Iris’ pseudo father (and Costello’s pseudo soulmate), and Gloria (Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo), the duo’s loyal yet chaotic godmother/best friend. Together they form a makeshift swaggerous family bound by a complex but deep-rooted love and defiance towards a system built against them.

Rain Dogs is made by Sid Gentle Films and was filmed last year at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol.

The show launched in the US on HBO on 6th March, and has been described by Rolling Stone magazine as: “Fascinating, poignant, and darkly funny”.

Rain Dogs will air weekly from Tuesday 4th April at 10.40pm on BBC One. The show will be released as a box set on BBC iPlayer once the first episode has aired.
