The remake of BBC3's This Country, which premiered in 2017, "follows a documentary crew, who go to a small town to study young adults and their current concerns," per Deadline. "Their focus is the daily lives of cousins Kelly and Shrub Mallet and their idiosyncratic surroundings. We follow the cousins as they pursue their dreams, confront challenges, and fight each other for frozen pizza. These two don’t have much, but they do have each other."
