Dawn French returns to primetime comedy in "Can You Keep a Secret?", a six-part sitcom about a family who decide not to correct a deadly clerical error and instead try to cash in on a life insurance policy. Mark Heap co-stars as the very much alive husband hiding in the loft while their son and police officer daughter-in-law get pulled into a spiraling scheme.
"Can You Keep a Secret?" premieres in the U.K. on Wednesday, January 7, on BBC One at 9:30 p.m., with the complete six-episode box set already available on BBC iPlayer as of this morning. Internationally, it is set to stream on Paramount+ in 2026, with region-specific dates TBC.
