David Mitchell and Robert Webb are returning to Channel 4 with a brand-new sketch show, which sees them combine forces with a host of exciting and innovative future stars, marking a bold return to British sketch comedy with an innovative merging of comedy minds across generations.

Mitchell & Webb will be supported by an ensemble cast of next generation writer/performers: Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Lara Ricote, Stevie Martin, and Krystal Evans, plus a dynamic team of established and upcoming comic writers.

The six-part series will be produced by That Mitchell & Webb Company in association with Big Talk Studios (Friday Night Dinner, Back, Ludwig), which is part of ITV Studios, and helmed by the BAFTA-winning duo’s long-standing Producer Gareth Edwards.

Hell yeah, I've been binge watching The Mitchell and Webb look at the Mitchel and Webb situation this month and listening to the radio show at work, I feel like I manifested this.

Is there a name yet?

I couldn't see one in the article, and given that's the official press release I guess not.

Future stars sounds promising.
When you look at shows like Bruiser, getting future people in was what led to their own careers.
