Channel 4 has commissioned Screw<\/em>, a new six-part prison drama series from writer Rob Williams (The Victim<\/em>, Killing Eve<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The series presents the uncensored, terrifying and often darkly funny reality of life as an officer in an all-male prison in 21st-century Britain. At the head of our gang of embattled “screws” is Leigh, a woman who has devoted her adult life to this prison and its troubled population.<\/p>\n

Screw<\/em> is an STV Studios production for Channel 4. Williams is creator, lead writer and executive producer, with Karla Crome (The Stranger<\/em>) joining the writing team.<\/p>\n

Banijay Rights will manage global distribution for the series.<\/p>\n

Williams said: \u201cThere is so much more to prison and those who live and work there, than misery and violence\u2014and I\u2019m incredibly proud to be working with STV and Channel 4 to show this in Screw, alongside the authenticity inspired by my experiences as a civilian worker in various prisons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah Brown, creative director of drama for STV Studios, said: \u201cChannel 4 feels like the perfect home for Screw<\/em>\u2014we\u2019re so excited to be working with the team to bring Rob Williams\u2019 witty, subversive and memorable gang of prison officers to life on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline Hollick, Channel 4’s head of drama, said: \u201cWith previous experience of working in prisons, Rob\u2019s writing comes from a truly authentic place, having had direct experience of a world which often comes with preconceived judgment. Screw<\/em> offers the audience an insight into the challenges and struggles faced behind bars for both prisoners and prison officers; told with humor, humanity and hope. Rob has approached this familiar genre with a brand-new, fresh perspective, and we can\u2019t wait for audiences to fall for his distinctive, flawed yet loveable characters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
