Taskmaster star Rosie Jones has treated fans to a first look at her new Channel 4 comedy Pushers.
Set for release on Channel 4 next month, Pushers sees Rosie take on her first ever role in a sitcom as an unlikely drug lord named Emily.
Sharing five first-look images to her Instagram page in a joint post with Channel 4, Rosie gave fans a glimpse at the new sitcom, which she co-wrote with Peter Fellows.
"Not your average unemployed friend on a random Tuesday," the caption read.
"Rosie Jones stars as an unassuming drug lord fighting back at the system that wrote her off. Brand new sitcom Pushers, coming to Channel 4 next month."

The official synopsis for Pushers reads: "Having had her state benefits cut to shreds after being made redundant, a young woman with very little left to lose begins to build an illegal drugs empire.
"But Emily isn’t your average street-dealing dope peddler – she’s sharp, funny, biting, highly educated – and on top of all that, she has cerebral palsy.
"People have underestimated Emily her entire life. If they’re not patronising her for completing the most menial of tasks, they’re pretending she’s not there. What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by the same broken system which exists to protect the law?"
Pushers is set for release on Channel 4 next month. An exact release date is yet to be announced.
