What It Feels Like for a Girl tracks a teenager who finds an underground club scene in 2000s Britain
Prime Video has picked up US rights to BBC drama What It Feels Like for a Girl to coincide with the start of Pride Month.
The eight-part series, from ITV Studios and Hamnet producer Hera Pictures, is adapted from the memoir by Paris Lees and follows teenager Byron (Ellis Howard) as they escape a former mining town in the early 2000s.
The story tracks Byron’s journey into an underground club scene, discovering identity, friendship and survival among a chaotic chosen family known as the Fallen Divas.
The show stars Ellis Howard (Catherine the Great) as Byron, with Hannah Walters (Adolescence), Laura Haddock (The Capture) and Michael Socha (Showtrial). Director is Brian Welsh (Black Mirror) alongside Ng Choon Ping (Femme) and Marie Kristiansen (Delete Me).
Liza Marshall, founder and exec producer at Hera Pictures, said: “We are immensely proud of What It Feels Like for a Girl. We are delighted that the show has found its US home, and we look forward to American viewers meeting Byron and the Fallen Divas on this unforgettable journey.”
The deal for the series, which received three Bafta nominations including for Best Limited Series, was brokered by Katie Buchanan and Rob Kaplan at ITV Studios.
