Rupert Grint and Nick Frost to star in further episodes of Sick Note alongside Lindsay Lohan

The post-watershed comedy Sick Note is set to air in a new 10pm comedy slot this autumn, however before an episode has even aired, Sky has ordered a second series.

“One lie leads to the next in this unsettlingly brilliant comedy that will hook viewers in and have them on the very edge of their seats. Filming for series two is already under way and we’re delighted to confirm Lindsay Lohan will be joining Rupert and Nick in this stellar comedy cast.” – Sky’s Head of Comedy Jon Mountague

Sick Note follows the story of Daniel Glass (Rupert Grint), a compulsive liar stuck in a failing relationship and dead-end insurance job, under the thumb of irrepressible boss Kenny West (Don Johnson). Just when things couldn’t get any worse, Daniel is wrongly diagnosed with a terminal illness by his incompetent doctor Ian Glennis (Nick Frost). When the error comes to light, Dr Glennis convinces Daniel to hide the truth of his misdiagnosis from colleagues, friends and family in a lie that spirals wildly out of control.

The first series of Sick Note will air on Sky 1 and TV streaming service NOW TV this autumn in what the broadcaster describes as ‘one of a host of edgier, grown-up comedies commissioned for the channel’s 10pm slot.’ Other shows in the autumn line-up include Bliss, a comedy starring Stephen Mangan and Heather Graham from Emmy award-winning director David Cross, and Bounty Hunters, a new action-comedy from Jack Whitehall and Freddy Syborn.

Lindsay Lohan will join Rupert Grint and Nick Frost for series two, which is currently shooting in the UK with the storyline carrying on from the first series. Lohan takes on the role of Katerina West, the daughter of Daniel’s boss.

“We are thrilled to be making a second series of this nail-biting comedy and very excited to be welcoming the extraordinary talents of Lindsay Lohan to our all-star cast.” – Jo Sargent, Executive Producer
