The official trailer for Welcome to Flatch, a US remake of This Country, has just been released.
The series, adapting the hit BBC mockumentary from Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, was written and executive-produced by Jenny Bicks, and directed and executive-produced by Paul Feig.
A synopsis for Welcome to Flatch reads: “When a documentary crew sets out to explore the lives of residents in a small American town – their dreams, their concerns – they stumble upon the midwestern town of Flatch, which is made up of many eccentric personalities.
“It’s a place you want to visit and maybe even stay. If there was a decent motel. Which there is not.”

Welcome to Flatch is set to premiere as part of Fox’s mid-season programming, in early 2022.
Of the book, Cooper said: “When things were really bad, mum would always say to me, ‘Don’t worry, it will be a good read for your memoir one day’.”
“Well, it seems that one day is today. I have lived the most humiliating, ridiculous, screw-up of a shit-storm life and it has been an utter joy digging up all that shit and putting it down on paper. Therapeutic even. I’m writing this memoir because I owe it myself to tell this story.”
