Set to debut in early 2017, the show is created and written by Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz. <em>Sick Note<\/em> follows the story of Daniel Glass (Grint), a compulsive liar, who\u2019s stuck in a failing relationship and a dead-end job, where he is under the thumb of his irrepressible boss Kenny West (Johnson). And just when things couldn\u2019t get any worse, he\u2019s diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He later finds out he was misdiagnosed by the incompetent oncologist Dr. Ian Glennis (Frost) and must decide whether to come clean or not.<\/p>\n<p>International distribution for the series will be handled by Sky Vision.<\/p>\n<p>Zai Bennett, the director of Sky Atlantic, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome the stellar cast of Rupert Grint, Nick Frost and Don Johnson to Sky Atlantic in this smart new original comedy.
