Antonia Thomas, former fan favorite on The Good Doctor, and Red Oaks’ Craig Roberts are leading an Apple TV+ British comedy series about insomniacs from "I May Destroy You" producer Various Artists Limited.

Still Up follows the exploits of Lisa (Thomas), an impulsive and free-spirited aspiring illustrator whose questions over her daughter’s future start keeping her up at night, and the socially anxious yet gifted journalist Danny, played by Roberts. The pair have no secrets, except their feelings for each other, and while the world sleeps, they spend their long nights taking despite never meeting.

Thomas played Dr. Claire Browne for four seasons of ABCs The Good Doctor then told Deadline that she was leaving to “explore different creative opportunities,” hinting that the size of U.S. broadcast orders was a factor in her decision. The British actress has since starred in top-rated Channel 4 drama Suspect.

The show joins a growing roster of well-received Apple TV+ British comedies such as Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters and the Rafe Spall-starring Trying. The streamer has been ramping up its UK offering, greenlighting dramas including Slow Horses and The Essex Serpent with big stars such as Gary Oldman, Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes.
