Channel 4 has ordered a one-off fictional documentary titled 100 Days of Ukip.
The 'what-if' drama will see an imagined future in which Nigel Farage's party wins the general election in May 2015.
Raw TV will produce the programme about Ukip's first 100 days in power, featuring both members of the public and actors.
Real-life archive material will be used alongside scripted drama to show how the UK's government policy changes with Ukip in power.
Channel 4's Head of Documentaries Nick Mirsky said: "This is a very exciting commission from a team known for brave and thought-provoking television."
Executive Producer Richard Bond added: "With support for Ukip growing in the polls, this is a timely exploration of the effect their policies might have on Britain."
Cast announcements for the drama will be announced in the coming weeks. It will air on Channel 4 in early 2015.
