Actor Jack Glesson, popular for his role as King Joffrey in Game of Thrones, is set to star in a new comedy television show, Out of Her Mind, after a six-year break.

The BBC comedy from comedian Sara Pascoe, which has Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on board as executive producers, explores heartbreak, family issues and how to survive them both.

Pascoe said, "Out of Her Mind is a direct expression of my mind. We've turned my brain into a theme-park, and everyone's invited."

The series also stars Juliet Stevenson, Fiona Button, Cariad Lloyd, Adrian Edmondson, Navin Chowdhry, Sean Gilder, Tom Stuart, Scroobius Pip, Jumayn Hunter, Sheila Reid, Cash Holland, Lorraine Ashbourne, and Cian Barry.

"The cast is incredible and I can't wait for people to see what we've made," Pascoe added.
