Her recently commissioned BBC drama, Hot Flush, was among a raft of new programmes announced on Thursday.
A new series from Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright will see a “celebration of women of a certain age” as they form a punk rock band.
Set in Hebden Bridge, where much of Happy Valley was filmed, the six-part series will follow the women as they create a band in order to enter a talent contest. Executive producer Roanna Benn, from Drama Republic, described the show as “about the women who hold up modern Britain, their stories urgently need to be told, and who better than Sally Wainwright to do that”.
Also among the BBC commissions is a new detective series, based on AA Dhand’s Bradford-based crime novels and starring The Great actor Sacha Dhawan, called Virdee.
