Malala Yousafzai in New Season

Following a successful first season, the show returns for season 2 on May 30. For her cameo, Malala joins band members Anjana Vasan (“Wicked Little Letters,” “Black Mirror”), Sarah Kameela Impey (“Vera,” “Halcyon Heights”), Juliette Motamed (“Halo,” “Magic Mike’s Last Dance”), Faith Omole (“An Ideal Husband,” “Endeavour”), and Lucie Shorthouse (“Rebus,” “Henpocalypse!”).

Series two sees the band return with a renewed artistic mission after the high of their first UK tour, only to find a rival band threatening to overthrow everything they have worked for. As the reality of chasing success comes crashing down upon them, the band members start to question whether striking it big in the music world is something they truly want.

In an earlier interview, creator Manzoor, who based the show on her own experiences, said that the new season will explore the interior lives of all the women on the show in greater depth. “Each of them facing new, existential challenges with all the silliness, pratfalls and banter of season one,” she explained.

Tasked with creating more original music for the show, the director furthered, “The music is bigger too – more wild original tunes (penned by me and my siblings) and dare I say it, even better covers.”

You can stream all six episodes of the first season of “We Are Lady Parts” on Peacock and Channel 4 in the UK. Working Title Television (WTTV), part of Universal International Studios and a division of Universal Studio Group, produces the show.
