Aww, judging by the trailer, Dinosaur looks to be a sweet show.

Dinosaur, a brand-new coming-of-age comedy series from Two Brothers Pictures (Fleabag, The Tourist, The Missing), explores the moments of change we experience in various relationships in our lives, including sisterhood, friendship, and romance.

Set (and filmed) in Glasgow, the six-episode series follows Nina (Ashley Storrie, Romance & Adventure), a thirty-something autistic woman, who adores her life living with her sister and best friend, Evie (Kat Ronney, McDonald & Dodds, The Royal Mob). However, when Evie rushes into an engagement after only six weeks and makes Nina her maid of honor, Nina is floored. Forced to reconcile with her sister’s impulsive decision, Nina grapples with what this new challenge means.

Nina’s relationship with her sister isn’t the only change that she’s navigating, as she explores new possibilities in her paleontology career, as well as a potential new relationship in her own life with kindhearted Lee (Lorn Macdonald, Shetland, The Lazarus Project), who helps Nina to see these new challenges in a more positive light. As their relationship blossoms, Nina ends up helping Lee just as much as he helps her.

Dinosaur premieres in the US on Friday, April 5, exclusively on Hulu. It also debuts in the UK on BBC Scotland and BBC Three next month (date tba).

Costars include David Carlyle (It’s A Sin) as Bo and Danny Ashok (C.B. Strike) as Ranesh. In supporting roles are Greg Hemphill (Still Game) as Ade, Sabrina Sandhu (Dodger) as Amber, Ben Rufus Green (The Cockfields) as Shane, Jim Kitson (Vera) as Declan, Sally Howitt (River City) as Diane, Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones) as Cecily, and Sanjeev Kohli (Still Game) as Sachin.

Created by Matilda Curtis (Goodbye Christopher Robin) and Ashley Storrie, the series is a Two Brothers Pictures production for Hulu (US) and BBC Scotland, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Three (UK) in partnership with All3Media International. It was commissioned by Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy, and Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning for BBC Scotland.

The Executive Producers are Sarah Hammond, Katie Churchill, Harry Williams, and Jack Williams. Catriona Renton is Co-Executive Producer. The Director is Niamh McKeown and the Producer is Brian Coffey. The BBC Commissioning Editors are Emma Lawson and Gavin Smith.
