Rupert Grint is leaving the world of Harry Potter behind to star in a new Sky Atlantic comedy with Nick Frost.
They will both appear in Sick Note, a new sitcom also starring Miami Vice's Don Johnson.
The show focuses on Daniel Glass (Grint), who's stuck in a dead end job and a failing relationship - and to make matters worse, he is diagnosed with esophageal cancer by Dr Ian Glennis (Frost).
However, things soon start to improve for Daniel, as he finds people treat him better after his diagnosis.
Dr Glennis discovers that he's made a mistake, however, and consults Daniel - only for the pair to go to extreme lengths to keep their secret safe.
Johnson will play Daniel's full-on boss Kenny West in the show, which is produced by King Bert.
