BBC Two has commissioned “Brain in Gear,” a new comedy series produced by BBC Studios, based on the eponymous 2019 BAFTA-nominated BBC short from creator Gbemisola Ikumelo.
In the short, Ikumelo plays Remi, an anxious single woman living alone — except for the voices in her head. The series will continue Remi’s story as she works her way through life dealing with Boss Bitch Remi and Dark Remi constantly interfering with her daily routine.
Ikumelo will also write for the series which will be produced by Inez Gordon and Joe Nunnery for BBC Studios with Josh Cole as executive producer. BBC Two controller Patrick Holland and comedy commissioning controller Shane Allen commissioned the series.
