A new sitcom coming to BBC Three will look (and laugh) at the trials and tribulations of millennial relationships.

Just a Couple stars Michael Salami as Mark and Frieda Thiel as Shav, a young couple living together for the first time.

The six-part series is written and directed by 26-year-old Sebastian Thiel and will launch on the BBC Three website and BBC Three YouTube channel this March. But before then, you can check out our exclusive two-minute trailer below:

Just a Couple explores issues of the internet age such as'TV cheating' - the duplicitous act of betraying your partner by watching a TV series when you promised to watch it together.

Shav and Mark will also navigate the pitfalls of filling out a relationship quiz, including Shav asking him what he would change about her physically. There is no right answer to this question, Mark.

Also causing friction is the question of putting the relationship online - with Shav feeling undervalued by Mark's reluctance to go public, while Mark doesn't understand why they need to show off on social media.

Just a Couple is a six-part series, with the first episode available from March 9 on the BBC Three website and YouTube channel, and a new episode out every week after that.
