Paramount+ released a trailer for an upcoming six-episode comedy series from A24, which also stars Andrew Scott and Lena Dunham. It Gets Worse will premiere on November 6, 2026. Leo Reich wrote and created the series, executive-produces it, and stars in it.
The synopsis of the upcoming show reads, “After being evicted from their flat, three deeply non-aspirational twenty-somethings stumble through dead-end jobs, chaotic love lives, and worsening mental health, clinging to friendship while the world – and their futures – falls apart around them. No money, no direction, and absolutely no idea how to get their shit together. Surely it gets better than this, right? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.”
