Hulu has acquired the U.S. streaming rights for the BBC Three and BBC Wales hit In My Skin.

Produced by Expectation (also behind Sky’s hit series Intelligence with David Schwimmer) and distributed by BBC Studios, In My Skin is written by Kayleigh Llewellyn (BAFTA Breakthrough Brit 2019), who has mined her own experiences to create this darkly comic coming-of-age story about a Welsh teenager living a double life, as she negotiates mental illness, friendships and her sexuality.

Llewellyn said: “We were blown away by the response to the pilot episode, which won two BAFTA Cymru Awards. And now to have such a brilliant reception for the series is just incredible. I’m eternally grateful to the people both on and off the camera who have poured so much love and care into this show. It’s a story close to my heart and to be able to share it on a global platform is truly thrilling. I just hope that Americans will know what a ‘fat bap’ is….”

Nerys Evans, creative director for comedy at Expectation, said: “I’m so excited that In My Skin will be launching on Hulu in the U.S. and that viewers there will be able to relive their adolescence through Bethan, and through Kayleigh’s fantastic writing. I’m looking forward to a U.S. audience engaging with our characters and experiencing this funny, raw and at times heartbreaking comedy.”
