Sky Comedy is premiering a new sci-fi comedy tonight at 10:10 p.m. [1] featuring a world overrun by murderous refrigerators.
The series blends domestic family dynamics with surreal science fiction, attempting to merge the format of a traditional sitcom with high-concept genre storytelling.
The plot centers on a man named Warren who discovers a glittering portal in his shed. The story begins when Warren's teenage daughter is sucked into the portal, prompting him to chase after her to ensure her safety.
Their journey transports them to the year 2043 [1], a future where evil refrigerators roam the earth and threaten humanity. The narrative follows the pair as they navigate this hostile landscape, which includes a road-trip segment through Ireland.
Industry descriptions have likened the tone of the show to "Doctor Who: The Sitcom." The production also features cameo appearances by Martin and Roman Kemp.
The series will broadcast on Sky Comedy [1] as part of its current programming slate. Viewers can expect a zany approach to the apocalypse, one where household appliances serve as the primary antagonists.
“A world overrun by murderous refrigerators.”
The premiere represents a trend in UK broadcasting to experiment with 'genre-bending' comedies. By mixing the low-stakes environment of a sitcom with the high-stakes setting of a dystopian future, Sky Comedy is targeting an audience that appreciates both absurdist humor and speculative fiction.
