What Is Matt Berry Doing Now?

In 2019, Matt Berry took on the lead role in the IFC/Channel 4 sitcom “Year of the Rabbit.” Set in Victorian London, Berry plays Detective Inspector Rabbit, a character known for his alcoholic tendencies. The show garnered attention for its unique setting and Berry’s brilliant portrayal of the eccentric detective.

Despite the series being renewed for a second season in February 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent budget cuts led to Channel 4 reversing its decision in January 2021. However, discussions are underway to find alternative partners and revive the show, indicating the commitment to its future.

Squeamish About… :

Adding another dimension to his creative endeavors, Berry embarked on a mockumentary series titled “Squeamish About …” commissioned by BBC Two in April 2020. The series, consisting of four quarter-hour specials, features Berry as Michael Squeamish. Collaborating with Arthur Mathews, Berry utilizes a combination of archive footage and voiceover to provide a surreal perspective on the subject matter, promising a unique viewing experience.

Toast of Tinseltown:

In 2021, following the setback with “Year of the Rabbit,” Berry found himself commissioned by the BBC for a new series titled “Toast of Tinseltown.” This six-part television program, co-written with Arthur Mathews, explores the adventures of Steven Toast in America. The series promises to bring Berry’s comedic prowess to a new audience, providing fans with another exciting project to anticipate.
