Sky Atlantic orders Julia Davis comedy from Baby Cow

Sky Atlantic has commissioned Hunderby, a seven-part black comedy written by and starring Julia Davis.

Hunderby was commissioned by Lucy Lumsden, head of comedy, Sky. Baby Cow Productions’ co-founders Henry Normal, Armando Ianucci and Lindsay Hughes will be executive producers. John Rushton (The Royle Family, Sunshine) will produce the series, and Tony Dow (Only Fools and Horses, Nighty Night) will direct.

The series will go into production shortly and will air on Sky Atlantic HD in summer 2012.*

This is Davis’ first series since the award-winning Nighty Night (pictured). She said: “I'm so excited to be making a series for Sky Atlantic, a channel that has so many of my favourite shows from around the world. It’s great to be working with Stuart Murphy and Lucy Lumsden again.”
