First Look at Can You Keep a Secret?: Trailer, Premiere Date & Why You’ll Want to Watch

Grab your popcorn and brace for chaos, because the snarky new British comedy Can You Keep a Secret? is rolling out to U.S. audiences with all six episodes ready to binge on Paramount+ on February 12, 2026 and the official trailer has finally given us that delightful first peek.

From the moment the trailer drops (yes, that trailer you’ve been refreshing Twitter to find), it’s clear this series isn’t your typical sitcom. Instead of laugh‑a‑minute antics set in a quirky office or suburban living room, we’re thrust into a pensioner‑driven caper about a botched death, a life insurance plot, and one granny’s wild decision that sends her whole family into comedic freefall.

Granny Gone Rogue: What the Trailer Reveals

The official Can You Keep a Secret? trailer wastes no time introducing Debbie Fenton (played with gleeful menace by Dawn French), a domineering matriarch who, when faced with her husband William’s supposed death, decides not to correct the mistake — and instead cooks up a plan to claim his life insurance. His excuse? He’s very much alive and chilling in the attic like some retired Beatle hiding from the press.

The trailer teases plenty of awkward family dynamics, especially once their son Harry — played by Craig Roberts — and his police‑officer wife Neha (Mandip Gill) start asking questions. Combine that with Mark Heap’s delightfully bewildered William, and what could have been a quiet sitcom becomes a farcical house of secrets, lies, and unexpected heart.

Premiere Date & Where to Watch

Already a hit with UK audiences where the series launched on BBC One on January 7, 2026 Can You Keep a Secret? makes its U.S. streaming debut exclusively on Paramount+ on February 12 with all six episodes available at once.

Whether you’re in it for Dawn French’s sharp comic timing or the absurd premise that somehow balances warmth with droll British humor, this show looks poised to be one of the sleeper comedy hits of early 2026. The trailer alone sets up expectations of a clever blend of outlandish situational comedy and surprisingly sweet family moments which, let’s be honest, is exactly the kind of quirky TV we live for here at The TV Cave.

So mark those calendars: this is one secret you’ll want to keep… but maybe not for long.
