FANS have caught their first glimpse at Lily Allen as she makes her TV debut in the upcoming Sky Comedy series Dreamland - which looks seriously impressive.

After a successful run in the West End's 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2021, the UK singer is now taking on the big screen.

The Smile singer has landed her first ever big TV gig in the new Sky original series.

Sharon Horgan is directing the six-part comedy series, which will feature the 32-year-old as Mel navigating the dynamics of a multi-generational family.

The show will follow Lily, who plays Mel, as she travels to visit her sister in Margate, Kent, ahead of a family baby shower.

Shortly after Mel and her sisters attempt to manifest a baby girl for their eldest pregnant sister, Mel discovers she is pregnant herself.

The official description for the show reads: "Set in the sun-drenched British seaside town of Margate, it is a dark comedic exploration of multi-generational female relationships, and their (somewhat dysfunctional) family dynamics. Eldest sister Trish is pregnant for the third time with her partner Spence. And this time, she's decided: it's going to be a girl.

"Her two sisters, Clare and Leila, rally around her with their mum and their Margate legend nan, 'manifesting' a little girl at Trish's 'mani-festival.

" But, when their other sister, Mel, makes an unexpected reappearance back into their lives, her return threatens to destabilise the entire family. A knock on their door and their 'Dreamland' is no more."

Mel appears shell-shocked in the trailer as she escapes a rowdy bus surrounded by tourists before returning home to her mother, grandmother, and family.

Staring alongside Lily is Doctor Who’s Freema Agyeman who will be playing her elder sister Trish.

Gabby Best and Aimee-Ffion Edwards from Peaky Blinders take on the other two sisters. Frances Barber plays the mother, and Sheila Reid plays the grandmother.

Dreamland does not yet have a release date, but it will air this year on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
