“Nothing that happens to you as a child really matters.” Showtime has just released the official trailer for their upcoming TV show Patrick Melrose.

Based on the novels by Edward St. Aubyn, the limited drama “skewers the upper class as it tracks the protagonist’s harrowing odyssey from a deeply traumatic childhood through adult substance abuse and, ultimately, toward recovery.” The cast also includes Blythe Danner, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hugo Weaving, Anna Madeley, and Allison Williams.

Showtime has not yet announced a premiere date or Patrick Melrose, but you can watch the trailer below:
