Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return with The Trip To Greece on Sky One next month

Tuesday 4 February 2020

The Trip is returning to Sky One and streaming service NOW TV on 3 March 2020 at 10pm with a fourth instalment of the multi award-winning and much-loved comedy series, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.

The Sky original series, from Revolution Films and directed by Michael Winterbottom, will see Steve and Rob’s fictionalised characters embark on a road trip around Greece for a fresh helping of gastronomic adventures. The six part series is succulently seasoned with laughter, impressions and scintillating conversation.

The Trip to Greece is sure to satisfy viewers’ palettes as the duo lock horns over tragedy, comedy, myth and history. All while dining on cuisine traditional to beautiful Greek hot spots including Assos, Kavala, Stagira, Athens, Epidaurus, Hydra and Plyos among many, many others.

“What a joy to go island hopping with the incomparable Steve and Rob. Greece is the birthplace of democracy but more importantly the birthplace of Michael Winterbottom’s latest vision, which we can’t wait to share with our customers. Yamas!”
Jon Mountague

Director of Comedy, Sky Studios

The series follows on from Sky original The Trip to Spain, which saw the duo venture from Getaria to Malaga in 2017, securing Rob Brydon a BAFTA nomination for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme.

Other forthcoming Sky original comedies include Code 404 with Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays; Intelligence fronted by David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed; Hit Men, Mel and Sue’s first scripted comedy series, as well as Breeders with Martin Freeman.

Sky continues to invest in original productions and has recently committed to more than double its investment in original drama, comedy and documentary through Sky Studios, the commissioning and production arm of Sky. Sky Studios brings to screen unique stories from the very best talent in Europe and is the creative home of Sky’s award-winning and much-loved Sky originals.

The Trip to Greece is directed by Michael Winterbottom, produced by Melissa Parmenter and Josh Haynes for Revolution Films, Baby Cow and Small Man productions. It was commissioned by Jon Mountague and Sky’s Managing Director of Content Zai Bennett for Sky One.
