Brassic is a British comedy-drama television series created by Joe Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst for Sky One. The series follows the lives of Vinnie O'Neill (Gilgun) and his friends in the fictional town of Hawley. Other primary cast members include Michelle Keegan, Damien Molony, Tom Hanson, Aaron Heffernan, Ryan Sampson, Parth Thakerar and Steve Evets.
The first series premiered on 22 August 2019. Starting with the third series, following the shutdown of Sky One, the show was moved to Sky Max. The sixth series premiered on 26 September 2024. In June 2024, the show was renewed for a seventh series, making it the joint longest-running scripted series on Sky alongside Trollied.
The title Brassic is the colloquial pronunciation of "boracic" as in boracic lint, a medical dressing, the name of which is Cockney rhyming slang for "skint" (i.e. having no money).
