WE ARE LADY PARTS shows the highs and lows of the band – Lady Parts – as seen through the eyes of Amina Hussain – a geeky microbiology PhD student, who’s on the lookout for love and is recruited to be their unlikely lead guitarist. Lady Parts’ fierce and enigmatic frontwoman Saira sees something in Amina however, the other members are not convinced she is right for their band. Amina has never met girls like this before, and she’s soon swept up in their joyful, anarchic energy and punk spirit. She must now choose between two different worlds – that of her more strait-laced university friends and the world of Lady Parts. Will she be the key to the band’s success?

The unapologetically bold comedy launched yesterday, May 20 on Channel 4 in the UK and is now available as a box set on All 4. The series is set to launch on NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock on June 3 and Showcase in Canada on June 9. It also debuts today, May 21 on Stan in Australia and Sky New Zealand.

The series is written, created and directed by Nida Manzoor, who has drawn on her own experiences and taken inspiration from the rich and diverse cultural collectives and artists in London.

WE ARE LADY PARTS is produced by Working Title Television, which is part of NBCUniversal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. The series is distributed internationally by NBCUniversal Global Distribution.
