CBS release The Great Indoors trailer

The first trailer has been released for Stephen Fry's new US sitcom, The Great Indoors.

This week the CBS network announced that the show, which stars Community's Joel McHale as a rugged adventurer, had been picked up for a series following a successful pilot.

In it, Fry plays the well-travelled editor of The Great Outdoors magazine, which McHale's character Jack Gordon writes for.

However, the office is largely staffed with bored, unimpressed millennials responsible for the magazine's social media output.

The show also stars British actor Susannah Fielding, who played Chloe in the Channel 4 sitcom Pete versus Life.

Jokes in the trailer revolve around drinking your own urine in the wild, and the insinuation that one of the characters might be gay.

Last week, McHale told reporters: 'I really do like workplace comedies. I always wanted to do a sitcom with an audience and all that, and now I get to.'

Fry also has a role in the new Jane Austen movie adaptation, Love & Friendship, which is out this week, and also features comic Justin Edwards alongside stars Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny:
