BBC Three has announced that the second series of Shrill will be heading to BBC iPlayer.

The eight-part series will re-join Annie, played by Saturday Night Live’s Aidy Bryant, after she’s quit her miserable job and confronted her demons: her boss (John Cameron Mitchell), her mother (Julia Sweeney) and her troll.

With her best friend Fran (Lolly Adefope) and boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) by her side, she’s ready to begin a path of self-discovery to figure out what she truly wants in life.

Armed with a new-found sense of self-confidence, Annie is ready to take on the world. But finally living the life she imagined for herself isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Sue Deeks, the Head of BBC Programme Acquisition commented: “We are delighted that Shrill's mix of sharp social commentary, engaging characters and relatable situations have proved to be such a hit with BBC Three viewers.”

Shrill’s second series will be available on iPlayer from Saturday 25th January.
