The sitcom follows sisters Josie (Kat Sadler) and Billie (Lizzie Davidson) as they try to navigate their way through one crisis after another. Mum Deb (Louise Brealey) is on-hand to provide emotional support, even if that mostly consists of begging her daughters to just be ‘normal’.

Sadler and Davidson are sisters in real-life (‘Sadler’ is a stagename). Their relationship is a major influence on the show – which is written and created by Sadler – as she told the RTS in an interview this year. Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners) is the director.

“It's a sick pleasure that these horrible characters get to live another day and I'm now contractually obliged put them through hell again,” said Sadler. “The BBC are masochists and I’m very grateful.”

Such Brave Girls received three nominations at the 2024 RTS Programme Award nominations. The show was nominated for Scripted Comedy, while Sadler was up for Comedy Performance – Female. Her co-star, Freddie Meredith (Big Boys), was nominated for Comedy Performance – Male. Sadler also won a BAFTA Craft award for Emerging Talent: Fiction in April.

Details about full casting and transmission for the show’s second series are to be announced in due course.
