First look images of Dinosaur, the latest comedy series from Two Brothers Pictures, the creative minds behind Fleabag and the acclaimed thriller The Tourist, have been unveiled.

The six-part series, conceived by Matilda Curtis and Ashley Storrie, was both filmed and set in Glasgow. It is scheduled to premiere on Hulu in the US on April 5th and on BBC Scotland, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Three in the UK next month. Global distribution for the series is being handled by All3Media International.

Dinosaur centers around Nina (Ashley Storrie), a woman in her 30s on the autism spectrum, who cherishes her life with her sister and best friend, Evie. However, when Evie hastily gets engaged after just six weeks and appoints Nina as her maid of honor, Nina is taken aback. Confronted with her sister's impulsive decision, Nina grapples with the implications of this new challenge.

As Nina navigates her evolving relationship with her sister, she also explores new opportunities in her career in paleontology and a potential romance with the kind-hearted Lee, who helps Nina approach these challenges with a positive outlook. Their blossoming relationship reveals that Nina's influence on Lee is as profound as his impact on her.

Dinosaur is a coming-of-age series that delves into the transformative moments we experience in our various relationships, including sisterhood, friendship, and romance. Ashley Storrie stars alongside Kat Ronney (known for "The Royal Mob") as Evie. They are supported by David Carlyle ("It’s A Sin") as Bo, Lorn Macdonald ("BEATS," "Bridgerton") as Lee, and Danny Ashok ("Roadkill," "Capital") as Ranesh.

"Dinosaur" (6 episodes x 30 minutes) is produced by Two Brothers Pictures for Hulu (US) and BBC Scotland, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Three (UK) in collaboration with All3Media International.
