Riot Women: New BBC Trailer Previews Sally Wainwright's Rocker Drama
The BBC released a trailer and preview images for Sally Wainwright's highly anticipated rocker comedy-drama Riot Women - here's a look!
The BBC has released a trailer and new images from Sally Wainwright's upcoming female rocker drama Riot Women, where five menopausal women form a punk rock band to take part in a local talent contest, and suddenly find they have a lot more to shout about than they ever imagined… The six-part series, set and filmed in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, will be coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One this October. It is made by Drama Republic, a Mediawan Company, for the BBC and is a co-commission with BritBox. Riot Women will feature original songs from the band ARXX.
A teacher, a police officer, a pub landlady, a midwife, and a shoplifting freeloader: five menopausal women form a punk rock band to participate in a local talent contest, and suddenly find they have a lot more to shout about than they ever imagined. As they become closer, the teacher, Beth, and freeloader, Kitty, discover a surprising, heartbreaking connection.

The series will also star Anne Reid (The Sixth Commandment), Sue Johnston (The Royle Family), Peter Davison (Doctor Who), Claire Skinner (Outnumbered), Angel Coulby (Merlin), Jonny Green (White Lines), Ellise Chappell (Yesterday), Tony Hirst (Hollyoaks), Shannon Lavelle (The Hardacres), Mark Bazeley (Broadchurch), Amit Shah (Happy Valley), Rick Warden (Red Eye), Ben Batt (Domina), Natalia Tena (Harry Potter), Melanie La Barrie (& Juliet), Oliver Huntingdon (Sherwood), Richard Fleeshman (The Sandman), Olwen May (A Very British Scandal), Kevin Doyle (Downton Abbey), Nicholas Gleaves (Bodyguard) and Thomas Flynn (Masters of the Air).
