Freya is a Canadian tetraplegic woman in her thirties when she moves to London to live with Abe. She requires constant personal assistance to provide her care, but after not being able to find an appropriate personal assistant, invites her best friend Jo to take the job. [1]
We Might Regret This was initially reported in November 2022 to be in development as a Channel 4 pilot. [2] The series was greenlit by the BBC in June 2023 to be a joint British and American production between Village Roadshow and Roughcut. The director is Nick Collett. It is produced by Inez Gordon and executive produced by Ash Atalla, Alex Smith and Rebecca Murrell. [3] The story is inspired by the lived experience of co-writers Harris and Getty. Executive producer Atalla, a wheelchair user himself, has spoken of his wish to produce a high-end quality show on the subject matter. [4] Filming got underway in October 2023. [5]
In October 2024, We Might Regret This was renewed for two more six-part series. [6] Production on the second series commenced in June 2025. [7]
The series was broadcast in the UK on BBC Two on 19 August 2024. [8]
In December 2024, the series was included in the best of the year list by Emily Baker in the i (newspaper) who described it as "genuinely groundbreaking in its approach to disability, not shying away from the difficulties of being a wheelchair user but also not reducing a person to just their disability. Most importantly, though, it was very, very funny". [9]
