The bestselling memoir Everything I Know About Love by\u00a0Dolly Alderton<\/strong> will get a second lease of life in an upcoming BBC adaption inspired by the book, with the scripts penned by Alderton herself.<\/p>\n
Set in a London house-share in 2012, the series will follow longtime best friends Maggie, played by Emma Appleton (The Witcher<\/a>), and Birdy, played by Bel Powley (The Morning Show<\/a>), whose platonic love provides the beating heart of a series about messy relationships and heartbreak. The series is also helmed by a female director, China Moo-Young, who said: \u201cWe have a sublime cast for Everything I Know About Love and I\u2019m so excited to see them bring all the heart and humour of Dolly\u2019s scripts to life on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed and written by women,\u00a0Sally Wainwright\u2019s<\/strong> hilarious BBC comedy-drama about real-life \u201cGentleman Jack\u201d Anne Lister returns for a second season this year, once again starring Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster) in the title role.<\/p>\n

Upcoming eight-part horror series The Baby is penned by an all-female writers room, headed up by\u00a0Si\u00e2n Robins-Grace <\/strong>and Lucy Gaymer<\/strong>, and starring Michelle De Swarte, Amber Grappy and Amira Ghazalla.<\/p>\n
The Sky Atlantic synopsis reads: \u201cWhen 38-year-old Natasha is unexpectedly landed with a baby, her life of doing what she wants, when she wants, dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative and with violent powers, the baby twists Natasha\u2019s life into a horror show. Where does it come from? What does it want? And what lengths will Natasha have to go to in order to get her life back? She doesn\u2019t want a baby. The baby wants her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Queenie<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Author\u00a0Candice Carty-Williams\u00a0<\/strong>will penning the screenplay for the upcoming Channel 4 adaptation of her hit novel, Queenie, about Jamaican British woman Queenie Jenkins.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the author said it was a \u201cprivilege\u201d to be able to adapt to book for the small screen: \u201cBeing able to bring Queenie, her family and of course the Corgis to the screen is so exciting to me. And to do that with Channel 4, who has always set the tone for what television is about by pushing the boundaries of what we watch, is an added bonus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear to me that Queenie, a character whose story came to me when I was battling my way through my own messy twenties, is still so relevant today, and it\u2019s about time that a show like this can explore why. To adapt and breathe new life into a story that has been talked about across the globe, and to bring Queenie, our problematic fave, to a whole new audience, is such a privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n
