The story so far...
Kayo plays loner Maleek, who will form a firm friendship with his over-friendly divorcee paramedic colleague Wendy, played by Jane Horrocks.
Despite the pair getting off to a bad start, they are soon helping each other through life's scrapes.
Set within the fast-paced, never-ending rush of 999 call outs, Bloods will see each 30 minute episode follow Maleek and Wendy’s struggle to gain the respect of their fellow paramedics.
Speaking of her new role, Jane said: "I am very much looking forward to working on Bloods and being paired with the extremely funny Samson Kayo.
"I know nothing of the world of paramedics, but maybe I need to overcome my fear of blood before I start."
Samson Kayo added: "I’m super excited to show the world Bloods especially because I almost became a paramedic.
"Lucky for the NHS, I chose to play the character instead! I’m looking forward to hopefully bringing a bag of laughs to Sky with the lovely team at Roughcut who have some quality comedies under their belt!"
Bloods will air on Sky One and NOW TV in 2021.
