Fresh Meat is a British comedy-drama television series created by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, who also created Peep Show.

The first episode, directed by David Kerr, was broadcast on Channel 4 on 21 September 2011,[1] and the show aired on Wednesdays at 10 pm. The second series started airing on 9 October 2012 and consists of 8 episodes.[2][3] On 22 November 2012, a third series was commissioned and began broadcasting on 4 November 2013.[4] Bain said ideas were being developed for a potential film adaptation, following the runaway success of 2011's The Inbetweeners Movie.[5] Instead, a fourth series followed, filmed in 2015 and aired in February 2016 as a conclusion to the series.[6]
