Binge has released a trailer for This is Gonna Hurt.
The series is based on Adam Kay’s award-winning, international best-selling memoir of the same name, and is created, written and executive produced by Kay himself. The fictional series is a nuanced and intricate comedy drama populated by fully-drawn, complex characters. It showcases Kay’s own first-hand experiences of his time as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, offering an unflinching and honest portrayal of life on these wards.

Ben Whishaw is joined by newcomer Ambika Mod, Michele Austin (Meet the Richardsons), Alex Jennings (The Crown), Kadiff Kirwan (Chewing Gum), Ashley McGuire (This Country), Harriet Walter (Succession), Rory Fleck Byrne (Harlots) and Tom Durant-Pritchard (The Crown_
