TWO top celebrity comedians are set to dive into the 'criminal underworld of Reading' in a new comedy series soon to hit screens in the new year.

Reading is set to provide the backdrop to new show Romantic Getaway starring Katherine Ryan and Romesh Ranganathan promising a 'brand-new high-octane' comedy, coming to Sky and NOW TV on January 1.

The six-part series is a modern spin on Bonnie and Clyde focused on an ordinary couple's mission to start a family.

Alison (Katherine Ryan) and Deacon (Romesh Ranganathan) are desperate to have a child and after countless IVF attempts, they run out of money and turn to their last resort... stealing.

After defrauding their dodgy boss, Alfie (Johnny Vegas), of £500k, the couple are left on a mission not to get caught while navigating the criminal underworld and embarking on their next IVF attempt.

Reading has previously been the backdrop to Ricky Gervais's Cemetery Junction and has featured in Netflix's hit show The Crown.

It remains to be seen how much Reading will feature in the show.

The pair have been spotted in London and Hertford filming in May this year, however, they are yet to be spotted in Reading.

Do you recognise any of the filming locations? 

The trailer, which dropped on December 1 can be watched below.
