We Are Lady Parts was an oasis of TV joy amid the bleakness of the pandemic as Nida Manzoor’s exuberant comedy about an all-female Muslim punk band brought laughs and great tunes to Channel 4. Now, three years later to the month, the RTS and Bafta-award winning show returns for a second series, “bolder, sillier, darker and deeper” than before, in Manzoor’s words.
Written by screenwriter and director Nida Manzoor, the sitcom follows Muslim punk rock band Lady Parts as they strive to make a musical mark.
Series one saw the band – comprised of frontman Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey, Halycon Heights), bassist Bisma (Faith Omole, Endeavor) and drummer Ayesha (Juliette Motamed, Magic Mike’s Last Dance) – set out to find their lead guitarist.
The sixth series, says Netflix, will be "the most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet."
Speaking to Tudum, Brooker, who has once again written, created and executive produced the series, explained: "Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect.
